Today's #PhotoOfTheDay was taken by Hedda Morrison during a period of six months in Hong Kong, from 21 September 1946 to March 1947, following her marriage to Alastair Morrison and their departure from China. It complements the large archive of Hedda Morrison photographs, personal memorabilia and collected objects in the Museum's collection, which includes very few photographs taken in Hong Kong.
This photograph is of particular interest because it was taken at a time of conflict between the Nationalist and Communist parties in China, the history of which is suggested by the products that are displayed for sale in the shop windows, emblazoned with the Nationalist Party flag. The photograph bears a paper label of the reverse identifying it as a photograph supplied by Camera Press Ltd., London, which was Hedda Morrison's distribution agent in the early 1950s. It is a fine example of Hedda Morrison's commercial work, of which there are very few examples in the Museum's collection.

This is one of 555 images that Hedda Morrison took during her six month sojourn in Hong Kong 1946-47, the negatives for which are in the collection of the Harvard-Yenching Library, USA. This is one of a small number of Hedda Morrison's photographs of Hong Kong in the museum's collection and a fine example showing her interest in street life, a theme that she documented very comprehensively in #Peking. #POTD #HeddaMorrison #AlastairMorrison #MAAScollection #HongKong #Braids #CameraPress
