Manual Catalogues - Caption in Chapman's hand-written list of negatives made whilst on the Mission to Lhasa, 1936-7 [See PRM Manuscripts Collection]: 'Kampas, 2 in front of tent. Man in front not quite in focus' [MS 14/08/2006]
Other Information - Related Images: Images prefixed with 'C.15' taken on the British Mission to Lhasa in 1936-37 comprise a group of negatives containing images of threshing barley, Regent’s house, ferry near Dekyi Lingka and panoramic views of environs, mummers, Norbu Lingka, paper chase, tea at football match, Everest permit, Kampa people. This collection of images is headed with the title of ‘Rural Pursuits’ and it seems that Chapman may originally have intended to use this box of negatives whilst seeking out scenes such as threshing barley. However, this objective seems to have passed as the box was used as a wider variety of images than this were taken subsequently. This may also reflect the limitations of access to such scenes in and around the mission compound in the Dekyi Lingka and the constraints upon the photographic agenda of the mission. They seem all to have been taken between November 27th 1936 - January 7th 1937 [MS 14/08/2006]
