Manual Catalogues - Caption in Chapman's hand-written handlist of negatives taken whilst on the Mission to Lhasa, 1936 [See PRM Manuscripts Collection]: View over Phari Dak B[ungalow] and Dzong to hills [MS 10/03/2006]
Other Information - Related Images: 'CG' prefixes a group of negatives containing images of Phari, Chomolhari, Dr Tunyip, Phari Dzongpen, Tuna, telephoto panorama of Chomolhari. A hand-written note at the bottom of the list states ‘2 1/4 x 3 1/4 gone to album’ meaning that they were destined to be included in the draft album from which official selections of images of the Mission were to be made [MS 10/03/2006]
Other Information - Setting: "The Phari bungalow is flat-roofed, as are all the buildings here, and faces onto a cobbled courtyard together with the Post Office and the rooms of the Postmaster, who is a Nepali, and the hut-keeper, who is a rather superior looking Tibetan with a long plait and a heavy gold ring in his left ear" ['Lhasa: The Holy City', F. Spencer Chapman, London: Chatto & Windus, 1938, p.33]
