Title:

The Mo-chu River. Photographer: White, John Claude

Scope & Content:

Genre: Landscape Photography

View looking upriver towards a bridge. 'The river flows down from Tibet through Chumbi and Bhutan to the plains of Bengal, and comes out near Madari Hat on the Dooars Railway in the plains. A survey has been made of this route, and if a road be made from a point in the Bengal Dooars direct to Chumbi along the course of the Mo-chu it will, perhaps, become the most important trade route between India and Tibet, as it avoids the lofty passes between Sikhim and Chumbi.' Another copy (printed in platinum) at Photo 430/53 (15).
