some info from the www:
Elgin Street is located in Central, Hong Kong. It was named af...ter James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin. One of the earliest streets in Hong Kong, it was also known as "Mud Street" (泥街) by the locals, as the street formerly became very muddy on rainy days.
The street begins at a low elevation at Hollywood Road and ends high at Caine Road . The street is divided into two sections by the junction with Peel Street and Staunton Street. The upper section is less steep than the lower as it approaches the hilltop after the junction.
One can find several stalls selling miscellaneous things, which are heaped on the ground, on the sloping street. Originally there were two dai pai dongs operating on the street near Hollywood Road, but one of them was forced to closed in 2005. Many international restaurants and a comedy club[1] can be found on the upper section of the street."
Very good condition, only softly rounded / bumped corners, small soft creases in all four corners, a little stain near the upper left corner and the same corner is slightly damaged / bumped // blank back //VERY RARE LARGE PHOTO OF EARLY HONG KONG !!

--------------------------------ATTENTION: CURRENTLY SHIP ONLY BY REGISTERED AIRMAIL DUE TO ACTUAL SITUATION, IT IS MUCH SAFER. SO PRICES ARE 6, 50 US$ OR 8, 50 US$, STILL A GOOD PRICE COMPARED TO OTHER INTERNATIONAL POSTAL CHARGES BEING REQUESTED.
Postage is 4, 50 US$ for 1-2 photos with regular airmail worldwide, no refund if lost or stolen! Payment in this case only by IBAN / BIC bank transfer to my bank account, bank fees occuring on the side of the buyer need to be taken over by the buyer, so I get the full amount. Shipping within Germany is cheaper (via regular letter, registered airmail or DHL package), please ask!
Registered airmail that I strongly recommend in actual times is 8, 50 US$ for 1-2 photos, more on request depending on size and overall weight. If you choose this mode I am more than happy to accept PayPal for payment.
I can also ship by DHL but this is a lot more expensive, depending on the countries it varies between 15-50 US$, also depending on insurance, size etc. Please ask for details.
Due to the actual situation I have had some massive losses, that's the reason why I decided to sell these highly attractive and rare photos and postcards from my own collection to gain some money to go through this tough time! So your bid really helps! Many thanks!
Good luck, take care and stay healthy!
