Manual Catalogues - Caption in Chapman's hand-written list of negatives made whilst on the Mission to Lhasa, 1936-7 [See PRM Manuscripts Collection]: 'Monastery above Sera (sideways) and hill behind' [MS 21/03/2006]
Other Information - Related Images: Images prefixed with 'C.8' comprise a group of negatives containing images of the Potala and Lhasa, officials coming through Pargo Kaling, Turquoise Bridge, Tsarong, Trimon, views from and of Sera, a woman washing clothes, shepherd with sling, football teams. They were possibly taken between October 13th - 20th 1036. This image may have been taken between October 14th - 17th 1936, as on these days there were no official engagements according to the official mission diary, which might have enabled Chapman to travel further into the Lhasa valley to take photographs, as he tended to do when he had the opportunity [MS 21/03/2006]
