Chromolithograph, by R. Wagner, trimmed to edge of image and mounted (as issued), original mount with paper title label on verso. Mount size:17 7/8 x 22 inches. A charming, and very early view of Queen's Road in Hong Kong Hildebrandt, was born in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland). After serving as an apprentice to his father, a house painter, Hildebrandt moved to Berlin at nineteen where he studied under the German landscape and marine painter Wilhelm Krause. Around 1842, Hildebrandt moved to Paris and entered Eugene Isabey's atelier where he became connected to fellow landscape and maritime painter Eugène Lepoittevin. Upon his return to Berlin, his skills attracted the attention of German polymath, Alexander von Humboldt, who recommended Hildebrandt to the Prussian King, Friedrich Wilhelm IV. The King named Hildebrandt Painter to the Royal Court and subsequently supported him in his extensive and expensive travels. He made numerous journeys visiting the Americas (North and South), most of the Mediterranean countries, Asia Minor, India, China, Japan and crossing the Pacific: the present image is from a sketch that was made as a result of his tour of 1862 to 1864.

Humboldts erregte. Auf dessen Empfehlung hin hatte König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Hildebrandt in den Jahren 1844/45 nach Brasilien und in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gesandt. Weitere Reisen folgten, und 1862-1864 unternahm der Künstler eine Reise um die Welt, die ihn von Italien über den Nahen Osten und Ägypten nach Indien, China und Japan, dann über den Stillen Ozean nach Kalifornien, Mittelamerika und schließlich England führte. Auf dieser Reise entstanden mehr als 400 Aquarellstudien, von denen hier einige der schönsten in ausgezeichneten Faksimiles wiedergegeben werden.

On his return to Berlin, his talent as a landscape painter attracted the attention of Alexander von Humboldt, who recommended him to the Prussian King, Friedrich Wilhelm IV. As a result he was made Painter to the Royal Court, and was supported on his subsequent extensive (and expensive) travels. In 1844-45 he visited America and Brazil; in 1847 he was in England, Portugal, Spain, and the Canaries and Madeira; in 1851 in Italy, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and Greece; and from 1862-64 he was on his "Reise um die Erde" his Journey Around the World from Trieste through Suez to India, and on to China, Japan, the Pacific and back via California and Central America. His dispatches from the trip were published by the Berlin Montagspost, and subsequently in book form. The original watercolors from the voyage were exhibited in London in 1866 and at an exhibition at the Crystal Palace in 1868, a year before his death in Berlin. Images in this set include scenes from Alexandria, Benares, Bombay, Cairo, Bangkok, Rangoon, Hong Kong, Macao, Peking, Singapore, Manila, Japan, and two famous views of San Francisco.

Loeillot after the original watercolors by Hildebrandt using the Aquarelle process, with each color added manually by applying watercolors through stencils, each color requiring a different stencil.
