A rich doctor, the Nono, his son, and a poor monk [Dankhar]. Photographer: Egerton, Philip Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Formally posed full-length portrait of four men. The doctor and the monk sit on each isde of the Nono (Deputy) and his son, who are standing in the centre of the group: 'Now that we are going to be stationary for some time [ie remaining at Dankhar], I must introduce the Nono and his eldest son to the favourable notice of my readers. Here they are. On one side, a jolly doctor from Laloong in the Lingti valley, a great powerful fellow, the finest make of a man in Spiti. On the other, a monk from the Peen monastery. Why do these people screw up their eyes and mouths I wonder? I have an idea that all Tartar tribes do. Is it the cold bleak winds of their boundless deserts, or smoky houses, or both, or merely a trick? [There then follows a detailed description of the dress of the inhabitants of Spiti]' (Egerton, p. 25).
