Bhondong Shapé. Photographer: Spencer-Chapman, Frederick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Head-and-shoulders portrait: 'From 10-30 a.m. to 1-30 p.m. the Mission called in turn on Bhondong Shapé, Tendong Shapé, and Lungchungma Shapé. All were very affable and pleasant, sat with us on European chairs round a table and discussed matters freely. Bhondong and Tendong are experienced men of the world, pro-British and up to date in their ideas...Gould had some useful talks with Bhondong and Tendong in which among other things they expressed a desire to obtain wireless sets of their own, for use in Lhasa, or in the field so as to be independent of the Chinese. The Political Officer has quickly got on the best of terms with these two influential Shapés, who undoubtedly appreciate a British representative of his experience.' (Lhasa Mission Diary, 29 August 1936).
