The Nono, wife, and grandaughter [at Kuling]. Photographer: Egerton, Philip Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length standing portrait of the three figures, in front of the wall of a house: 'Onthe 25th we marched to Kuling, the Nono's residence, on the right bank of the Spiti, which we forded without difficulty, as it now contains considerably less water than it had in July. Here the Nono has a very nice compact little estate, with two good houses and plenty of out-buildings on it...When the sun had set behind the mountains, I asked the Nono to sit for his portrait, with his wife and unmarried daughter, and got the annexed picture. Anything more inane and helpless than the old gentleman's face on this occasion it is impossible to conceive...' (Egerton, p. 57). In fact, it transpired that this portrait shows the couple with their grand-daughter rather than their daughter (see print 35).
