Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Do01-95. Photographs Do01-95 and Do01-96 were probably added to the album after it was originally presented to Stanton. This is most likely taken at a late stage in the erection of the statue of Queen Victoria, which was commissioned to mark her Golden Jubilee in 1887. For a history of the statue's slow arrival in Hong Kong see https://visualisingchina.net/blog/2019/11/29/statue-and-symbol-queen-victoria-in-hong-kong/ See also Bi-s184, Bk09-10, Bk13-04, Do01-96, JC01-05 and NA20-26
