Title:

The Astrologer's Summer Residence [Nechung Monastery, near Lhasa]. Photographer: White, John Claude

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View of the front of the house, situated 'only a few yards behind the Monastery, slightly higher up the hillside...In front is the house built on a raised stone foundation; a neat little square stone house, slightly higher at each side than in the middle, with many windows covered with fine cloth, but with panes of glass in the middle of the cloth, and with clear white awnings of curious shape over each window and over the porch...The whole house is spotlessly clean, and every window is filled with flowers. It is a perfect gem and equal to anything of the kind in Japan, and it was indeed a surprise to find such artistic taste and refinement displayed in the building and decoration of the residence of such an official as the chief astrologer of Tibet.' Another copy (printed in platinum) at Photo 430/53 (57).
