Garpon of Gartok. Photographer: Calvert, Hubert
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length seated portrait of the Garpon, with attendants standing behind. 'On August 6th. — Took place the official interview with the senior Garpon…Before the interview the Garpon was photographed several times and I have promised him a copy in a few days, at which he seems pleased. After the official business was concluded, the Garpon was detained by a heavy hailstorm and the opportunity for friendly conversation was not lost. I showed him an English sovereign and let him keep it, at which he exhibted marked pleasure. Throughout our relations have been cordial. The Garpon is not a masterful, determined man but is eminently reasonable and straightforward. I told him I had searched in Simla for a good picture of the King Emperor, but had failed to find one good enough for him; he asked me to send him one if I could; a request which might be complied with at the conclusion of the present expedition' ('Progress Report, August 1st to 6th,' pp. 2-3, Add.63129).
