A pair of 1920’s watercolour views of Queen’s Road, Hong Kong, signed indistinctly – if anyone can make out or recognises the signature i’d be much obliged…

(NB: thanks to Maile Cannon of Beijing we can identify the artist as Lee Hung, born 1942, a graduate of the Guangzhou Arts Institute who moved to Hong Kong. Apparently (an anonymous quote) “He has determined to rediscover the old Hong Kong to the modern people. He has devoted much of his time to conduct [research] and organize findings. Although the places he [has] drawn have changed drastically, his pictures are all [original] from his substantial investigations.”
