HK312 (G/M) – ‘Cantonese Mother & Child’

Away from soldiers and battlefields, King & Country's Old Hong Kong series captures scenes of everyday life and the people who inhabited the busy streets and neighbourhoods of historic Hong Kong.

HK312 (G/M) – ‘Cantonese Mother & Child’ offers a warm civilian vignette centred upon family life.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Hong Kong developed rapidly as a commercial port, drawing together maritime trade, local communities, merchants, labourers and families within an increasingly crowded urban landscape.

A mother and child figure brings an entirely different atmosphere to a street scene. Place them near a market stall, shopfront, residence or other civilians and the display immediately begins to feel inhabited rather than simply architectural.

The figure is also ideal for collectors who enjoy the social-history aspect of miniatures – the ordinary people whose lives continued around the much larger political and commercial changes taking place in Hong Kong.

Available through The Military Workshop – a charming King & Country Old Hong Kong vignette adding family life and everyday character to a Cantonese street scene.
