Photograph showing the public gardens and view of the harbour, taken from the Albany (a stretch of houses). The caption reads: 'Hongkong Public Gardens and Harbour, from the Albany. The scene from the high ground at the back of the Public Gardens is very charming, especially in the summer months just before sunset, when the surrounding hills are tinged by the slanting rays. The buildings most conspicuous from this point of view are Government House, the Cathedral, Barracks and Seamen's Hospital'.
