Zustand: Sehr gut. Original cloth binding, xix, 331 pages, 41 illustrations, folding map, very good condition. White played a controversial role especially in Sikkim. His photographs are unsurpassed, perhaps he learned to take them from Mr Hoffman (of Johnston and Hoffman), owner of one of the earliest professional photographer`s studios in India, with whom he travelled in Sikkim in the 1880ies. Eventhough White was participant of Younghusband Tibet Mission in 1904 (during which White took also spectacular photos), this is not described in here, but all his travels in Sikkim and Bhutan, i.a. for the investiture of the first king as KCSI - becoming Sir Ugyen.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Original photographic carbon print published in the very rare 2 volume edition of "Tibet and Lhasa", total size 47 x 34 cm, size of picture 29 x 24 cm, lower border (outside photo) somewhat stained, together with the original letter press page describing the photo, very good condition. John Claude White`s photographical report of the Younghusband Mission to Lhasa is one of the most beautiful and rarest books about Tibet. The story is that the British Government did not want the Chinese to have such a detailed information about the route between Lhasa and the frontier of British India, and the publication was immediately supressed. Only a handful of copies are known (two at the British Library, including Eric Bailey`s copy, Royal Geographical Society, Liverpool Museum (Bell`s copy), Newark and Peabody Essex Museum, Salem - the only complete copy we are aware that had been on the market, auctioned in 1979 for USD 100,000 and then partly dismembered for an exhibition (compare Lhalungpa, Lobsang Phuntshok: Tibet. The Sacred Realm, 1983). A copy also has to be in the library of the 8th Gorkha Rifles (compare Sood, Younghusband, Troubled Campaign, 2005, where all plates are reproduced. John Claude White, 1853-1918 has been political officer for Sikkim and Bhutan, finally also for Tibet and became famous for his landmark photography. Johnston & Hoffmann advertised for this publication, according to which single prints could be ordered, as well as a "Edition du Luxe" with 100 prints. The copies we saw comprise actually 83 plates, some double page and several folding panoramas. This plate shows the tents and soldiers at Gyantse and is described thus on the accompanying cover leaf: "The Mission Post at Gyantze. This is where the Mission sustained what may almost be called a state of siege for several months. They were under constant fire from the Jong, and on the occasion of the first fight at Karola [Karo-La], when many of the garrison were away with that force, a large body of the enemy attempted to rush the Mission Post, and one man actually got over the wall."

Brethereton, drowned during the crossing. Even such single prints as this are exceedingly rare. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
