Gyan-tse Jong. Photographer: White, John Claude
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking across fields towards the Tibetan fort or dzong, with the houses of the village on the plain below: 'This photograph shows the enormous natural strength of the rock-fortress, which was so gallantly stormed on the 6th July, 1904. The rock rises precipitously some 400 feet above the plain. All the houses and buildings are of stone and loopholed, at the foot of the hill is a network of dirty alleys and hovels from which the enemy kept up a heavy fire.'
