Manual Catalogues - Richardson Handlist- Album 4. 'Journey starting at Gong-dkar rdzong on Gtsang-po, 29. 18. N 90. 48 E', '[no.] 90. 'The Phu ma mtsho with Thugs dgon pa in distance, (28.32 - 38 N 90 14-34 E).'
Other Information - Background: Richardson mentions this lake in High Peaks, Pure Earth , London, Serindia Publications, 1998, p. 324, "Across the Smon-mda' La out of upper Lho-brag is the Phu-ma-mtsho (or Pho-mo-mtsho) lake with the little Thag (1950) monastery at its north-east end."
Other Information - Dates: The date is derived from Richardson’s negative album No.4, the cover of which is marked with ‘Lhobrag 1950’. These images seem mainly to have been developed as part of a batch arising from a trip to Mug, Lhobrag etc in 1950, as well as images taken on other trips during this year (eg: Talung/Reting). The batch development numbers 608-615 on the back of the contact prints run sequentially and the images seem all to have been developed at the same time, and must therefore have been taken in or around this date. In addition, 2001.59.4.83.2, one of this batch, has also been identified on the back as having been taken in 1950 [MS 22/12/2005]
