Notes on print/mount - 'View from Drepung' has been written beneath the image in the album in pencil, apparently not by Hugh Richardson [MS 26/08/2006]
Other Information - Album: This image appears alongside 3 others composed as two two-image panoramas around Lhasa on page 65 of Hugh Richardson's album 'Lhasa 1936' [MS 26/08/2006]
Manual Catalogues - Caption in Chapman's hand-written list of negatives made whilst on the Mission to Lhasa, 1936-7 [See PRM Manuscripts Collection]: 'View S from Sera [ sic Drepung]'; PRM Manuscripts Collection: ‘List of Tibetan Prints and Negatives’ - Book 1, From Gangtok to the Natu La August 1936: ‘32/1 - View from near Sera Monastery across Kyi Chu valley above Lhasa’ [NB: the incorrect identification of 'Sera' has been repeated in the second handlist; it was in fact a view from Drepung] [MS 26/08/2006]
Other Information - Related Images: It has been possible to identify this image because of the number printed on the bottom of the negative. It relates to the group of images prefixed 'C.2.' which comprise a group of negatives containing images of the treasurer, a panorama from Drepung, views from Sera and Nechung monastery. They seem all to have been taken on August 30th 1936 [MS 12/03/2006]
