Description


French artist Zabo visited Hong Kong in the 1960s, and condensed his year-long stay into a book of cartoons which has come to be known as an emblem of the era. Life in Hong Kong's streets and trades is humorously illustrated with a touch of satire, covering popular habits, social etiquette, traditions and the customs of local people as well as foreign residents. Even half a century later, Zabo's portrayal of Hong Kong still rings true, and his take on life will resonate in the fond memories of all who lived through the Swinging Sixties.
