"In 1930, the celebrated American photographer Richard Gordon Matzene made a unique series of portraits of the ruling families of Nepal. Matzene's previous portraits of Indian royalty, admired by the Nepalese, facilitated an invitation from Nepal. Wary of British imperialist intent, which was frighteningly real in neighboring India, Nepal at that time maintained a closed-border policy. Matzene, upon reaching Kathmandu after an arduous journey over formidable terrain, was only the 27th foreigner to enter the country. The handsome aristocrats and sumptuously adorned women in his immaculate portraits are here identified and their biographies fitted into the panoply of Nepalese court drama and intrigue" (jacket blurb).
