KIng of Lhadu and his companion monk. Photographer: Spencer-Chapman, Frederick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Head-and-shoulders portrait of the two men. 'To-day we received a call from the King of Lhadu and his leading subject. The King is one of several small chieftains of Eastern Tibet who have been gradually subdued by the Tibetan Government. He rules a population of about 1,000 herdsmen. He has a large goitre but declined offers of treatment on the grounds that he must consult the lamas...The King who holds the title of Teji by the Tibetan Government, had come to visit the tomb of the late Dalai Lama. The reason for his call on the Political Officer was that he wanted to be on friendly terms with the representatives of other powers. His companion was a cheerful monk who has travelled a bit and visited Kalimpong and Darjeeling.' (Lhasa Mission Diary, 29 September 1936).
