This atmospheric view of Kowloon Docks was captured by Alexander H. Buchman (1911-2003), Chicago-born aeronautical engineer, photographer, socialist and Trotsky admirer.
The accompanying text reads: The teeming, noisy, energetic, ever-moving activity of the docks at Kowloon, where giant liners from the world over discharge their cargoes.
The image has been used to illustrate an article titled: Begdon, K, Hongkong, the Riviera of the Orient, which was published in the November 1938 edition of Shanghai’s The China Journal.
