Several of John Thomson's photos from the 1860s and 1870s are of Hong Kong.The photos can be viewed and downloaded in high-resolution (though with the library's logo on the picture), which means they can be cleaned up well in an image editor.

The Hong Kong Public Records Office offers an online catalogue to their 'Archives for Still and Moving Images'.Other websites with good photos of old Hong Kong include:
