Genre: Landscape Photography
General view of encampment. Reproduced in Earl of Ronaldshay, 'Sport and Politics under an Eastern Sky' (Blackwood, Edinburgh and London, 1902), p. 119, there titled, 'Tartar encampment': 'A day and a half brought me to the head of a large lake called the Tso Morari, where I found a large encampment of Tartars from whom I procured fresh yaks for the baggage. They are a curious people these nomad shepherds, living in settlements in black bell-shaped tents made of goats' hair, and tending their flocks and herds of sheep and goats. As long as they are camped at a great height they appear to be quite happy and content; but seem to dislike living below an altitude of about 16,000 feet, though they are driven down in the winter to the more sheltered valleys at 14,000 feet and 15,000 feet.'
