The dust-cover is from an oil- painting recently acquired by the Government of Hong Kong. The painting is ascribed to Chinnery (who died in 1852), but for historical and stylistic reasons is almost certainly by another hand. The inclusion in the painting of the Old Secretariat ( completed in 1848), the Cathedral (com- pleted in 1849) and a matshed on the site of Government House (commenced in 1852) date the scene to about 1850.
