Other Information - Related Images: Images prefixed with 'C.9' comprise a group of negatives containing images of Tsarong’s family and his house, a Tibetan stove, preparing paint for Potala and camels. The date is not certain, but it seems most likely that these images of Tsarong and his family were taken on September 14th when dinner was held there on the occasion of the departure of Brigadier Neame [MS 28/03/2006]
Other Information - "Another room of the house is furnished in English style with a heavy wooden dining-table, sideboard and chairs. On the walls are family photographs in heavy frames. But the majority of the rooms are Tibetan and are furnished with low divans and carved and lacquered tables" ['Lhasa: The Holy City', F. Spencer Chapman, London: Chatto & Windus, 1938, p. 105] [MS 28/03/2006]
