The Old Lane Crawford Co., Central

The Lane Crawford Company was formed by T.A. Lane and N. Crawford in Hong Kong in 1850. It was not officially registered as a limited company until 1922. The company is known for selling world-famous product brands. The painting shows the old Lane Crawford Company in Des Voeux Road Central, which is now the Hong Kong Landmark. Many new companies have moved to Queen's Road Central, Admiralty, and Causeway Bay. Recently, commercial buildings are rapidly being constructed in Hong Kong, particularly in the Central, Admiralty, Wanchai and Tsimshatsui districts.
