Notes on print/mount - 'In Potala' has been written beneath the image in the album in pencil, apparently not by Hugh Richardson. This is incorrect - the images seem to have been taken in Gautsa [see below] [MS 25/08/2006]
Other Information - Album: This image appears alongside 3 others of religious objects on page 45 of Hugh Richardson's album 'Lhasa 1936' [MS 25/08/2006]
Manual Catalogues - Caption in Chapman's hand-written list of negatives made whilst on the Mission to Lhasa, 1936-7 [See PRM Manuscripts Collection]: '1/2 4 Ditto [images at Gautsa]'; PRM Manuscripts Collection: ‘List of Tibetan Prints and Negatives’ - Book 2: ‘20/2 - Robed images in monastery’ [MS 25/08/2006]
Other Information - Related Images: A group of negatives prefixed with 'H' that contain images of the route from Lhasa including Phari, Gautsa, Gyantse, all of which seem to have been taken in late February - early March 1937 [MS 10/03/2006]
