  • Tai O Culture Workshop (set of 6)

    This set was hard to get.  Basically you needed to go to Tai O to find these, and Tai O is a famous but hard-to-reach village at Hong Kong’s extreme southwestern end, on Lantau Island.  Quoting the paper sleeve enclosing these six B&W unused cards, “Tai O Culture Workshop published a set of postcards in commemoration of this unique fishing village in a wish to share the unusual beauty with others.”  The photos are from the 1960s, the cards are newer.  Grade: 1

Tai O Community Work Office.  Exceptional.  Grade: 1

  • Celebration Reuniformation of China Postcard – dancers

    For the next several cards, we have a series issued to commemorate the handover of Hong Kong from Great Britain to China in 1997.  Understandably there were many festivities and activities connected with this event, and some were captured on postcards as you see here.  The captions are always in Chinese only, but we will try to give you a sense of what’s going on.  All of these cards are unused.  This particular card shows, at the top, the artistic team of gongs and drums from Shangxi province; and a Bell Show from Hubei Province at the bottom.
