Inside an upstairs courtyard of Shi-ga-tse Dzong. Photographer: Bell, Charles Alfred
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
'On right, part of the main building; in this part at top is the Court Room of the Chi-dzongs. In centre foreground a pony, and behind it, on a wall, the huge Tibetan mastiff that bit my photographer's assistant so ferociously that he almost fainted from the attack. Some women servants heard his screaming and called out to some men who came and, no doubt, drove the dog off. The wounds were extremely severe, and but for his continued treatment by my doctor, Lt. Col. Harnett, I.M.S., and then at the Indian Hospital in Gyang-tse, he might have died from septic poisoning. The smaller house, left middle distance, contains several rooms occupied by a caretaker and other servants.'
