View of Spring Gardens, Wan Chai, 20th August 1846 1846年8月20日的灣仔春園景象

圖中後方小山,大概為白梨士山(堅尼地道東邊出口)、摩理臣山(現已消失)及禮頓山等,在中央之山上建築物,大約為基利士比屋,此屋毗連舊海軍醫院,而醫院所在,即現律敦洽醫院位置。在辦認這圖片內的地方時,右邊山上指向天空之石,成為一有趣的線索,這石是姻緣石,現仍明顯存在。Possibly one must view the hills in the background as being today’s familiar landmarks such as Mount Parish (eastern end of Kennedy Road), Morrison Hill (now vanished), and even Leighton Hill. In fact, the building on the centre hill is probably “Gillespie’s House“ which was followed by the old Naval Hospital where the Ruttonjee Hospital is today. One interesting clue to identification of this picture lies in the rock pointing skyward on the right-hand hill; this is obviously the Lover’s Rock which still stands out in sharp outlline today.
