The Photographic Society of Hong Kong – First International Salon of Photographic Art – 1946


The Photographic Society of Hong Kong regrets that a number of the prints submitted in 1941 have become damaged or lost. Of these, the following entries were originally selected for hanging, and are honored accordingly.

The hanging of the exhibition of the First International Salon was delayed from 1941 to 1946 because of World War II.

The opening of the exhibition will be opened by its patron H.E. Sir Mark Young, G.C.M.G. (originally to have been opened by H.E. Sir Mark Young, K.C.M.G. in 1941) at St. John’s Cathedral Hall on Wednesday, 11th December 1946

The Photographic Society of Hong Kong expects to resume its full activities in the New Year, including participating in Salons and Exhibitions, in England and America. Prospective members anxious to take part in these activities will be welcomed to its ranks.

Francis Wu was one of the judges and was also in the salon committee of this salon in 1941, and in the Council in 1946.
