I love drawings of buildings and storefronts, and this ad of the Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank 上海银行 from 1934 has ten of them! Besides, there is some curious local knowledge under each drawing - such as Cantonese-speaking personnel in Hongkew branches. Hi-res image is 8 Mb:





[Here is a selection of some branches...]
2. Boundary Road Office







4. Bubbling Well Office, 791 Bubbling Well Road








7. Avenue Joffre Office, 589 Avenue Joffre
