Kowloon: Relief Map Service, [c.1950].. Large unique large scale hand-crafted relief map of plaster on hard-board made for the British Navy measuring 85 x 122 cm, 91 x 130 overall. An important historic record showing the shoreline of Hong Kong before much of the major land reclamation projects undertaken to expand the limited supply of usable land in Hong Kong.
