Raymond Spencer Millard’s Scenes of Hong Kong, 1970s/1980s

Posted: June 10th, 2025 | No Comments »

Raymond Spencer Millard (1920-1997) was originally from Derbyshire and was a specialist on road building who worked throughout the UK and the colonies. The following four paintings are of Hong Kong and begun and finished in the 1970s and 1980s. Millard obviously took some time as he records that most were started in 1976/1977, but the final painting of Shun Wan Harbour was begun in 1977 and only completed in 1987.
