Other Information - Related Images: Bell does not distinguish in his List of Illustrations entry between 1998.286.156.1 and 1998.286.156.2, although they are different images; both may be referenced by the caption for Q.144. The lantern slide has been made from 1998.286.156.1 [MS 11/8/2004]
Notes on print/mount - '28' has been written in black ink. This slide seems to have been used as slide 28 in the lecture 'A Year in Lhasa', which was first presented at the Royal Geographical Society on 3rd December 1923. The text, with a lesser number of images, was later published in The Geographical Journal of February 1924. Bell may also have presented this lecture on other occasions about which we have no information at present. [MS 10/9/2004]
