HK315M The Chinese Classroom - Matt Finish

This little scene depicts one of the many private schools established during the latter part of the 19th Century for the sons of gentle folk in Colonial Hong Kong.

As the elderly teacher examines the work of one pupil other pupils are variously occupied being mischievous, paying attention or, in one case, enojoying a nap on his desk!

In addition to the 7 figures there are 6 desks and bench-seats for the pupils as well as a teacher’s table and chair, a jarfull of scrolls and a large wooden map board depicting Hong Kong Island.

All of the figures and accessories fit perfectly into a 2-dimensional, full colour representation of a typical Chinese Classroom of the 1890s.

Scale 1/30.
