Panorama of Lhasa from the south. Photographer: Spencer-Chapman, Frederick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Panoramic view composed of two joined prints, looking towards Lhasa and the mountains beyond; Kyi Chu river in foreground. 'A panorama of Lhasa taken from the south. In the centre is the Potala. The building on the summit of the left-hand rock is the Medical College. Among the trees to the left of it can be ssen our house - the Deyki Linka. Immediately behind and to the left of this rock is Kundeling, the monastery of our landlords. Just behind this, running right across the left of the picture, is an aqueduct. Notice the many monasteries and nunneries in the mountains. Below, and a little to the right of the white cloud peeping over hills, is Sera Monastery.' (Lhasa Mission Diary, October 18th to November 4th 1936, Appendix II, Explanation of photographs). 'Morgan, Nepean, Dagg and Chapman climbed the hill nearest to our house but on the other side of the Kyi Chu, to collect seeds and take photographs. As this is the nearest hill to Lhasa there is an excellent bird's eye view of the city, Potala, and surrounding monasteries.' (Lhasa Mission Diary, 11 October 1936).
