Other Information - Related Images: Bell does not distinguish in his List of Illustrations between 1998.286.21.1, 1998.286.21.2 and 1998.286.291 and all three may be referenced by his caption for Q.20, even though they are all different images [MS 4/8/2004]
Technical Information - This lantern slide was made by projecting the negative image through an enlarger. This has enabled a full sized positive reproduction of the Quarter-sized original to be made [MS 19/8/2004]
Other Information - Setting: Bell's diary for 30th July 1921:" Per Tsendron "The weeping willow trees are called 'Chinese willows' ( Gya chang ). Since the 5th D[alai] L[ama]'s death all the trees and flowers have drooped a little. The Cho U-tra over the Small Pox Edict in Lhasa, is a Chinese willow." [diary Vol. XI, p.65]
