'Silver Mine Bay / 銀礦灣—Sheet 10 Hong Kong—Series HM20C'


A richly detailed colour map of eastern Lantau at 1:20,000, published just as the island began a period of extraordinary change. Contours and spot heights model the mountainous interior, while villages, paths, roads, ferry connections and the intricate shoreline lead the eye from Silver Mine Bay and Mui Wo to Discovery Bay, Penny’s Bay, Peng Chau and Ma Wan. Its date is particularly resonant: Discovery Bay’s first residential phase went on sale in 1980, yet the surrounding transport and resort landscape remained at an early stage. Penny’s Bay retains the coast later remade by reclamation for Hong Kong Disneyland, opened in 2005; the sheet also predates the Tsing Ma and Kap Shui Mun bridges, North Lantau Highway, airport railway and Discovery Bay tunnel. The airport itself now lies west of this sheet. HM20C was the Government’s general-purpose colour series, used by schools, hikers and scouts as well as ordinary map readers. This second-edition Sheet 10 combines immediate local nostalgia with a particularly clear before-and-after record of Lantau’s modern transformation.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
