Title:

The court yard, Lhalu's house [Lhasa]. Photographer: White, John Claude

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View from an upper storey of the building, looking out across the courtyard. The Union flag flies over the entrance. Another copy at Photo 1084/2 (22), in White's 'Tibet and Lhasa' (Calcutta, [c. 1906]), where the caption reads: 'This is the house where the Mission resided at Lhasa. It is a fine large building, surrounding four sides of a big courtyard. After the Mission had been in it sometime it became comparatively clean. With the usual Tibetan contempt for ordinary methods, it is built in the middle of an unhealthy swamp, and is approached through a foot or two of mud and water.' This photograph is reproduced in Sir Francis Younghusband, 'India and Tibet' (London, 1910), facing p. 267.
