In Negative - 'YN 41' has been scratched onto the negative in the bottom left hand corner on the non-emulsion side. [MS 18/2/2005]
Other Information - Photographer: The inscription 'YN' in the negative seems to relate to Evan Yorke Nepean, who was part of the Mission to Lhasa in 1936-7 and who took many photographs alongside Chapman. For this reason the image has been reattributed as having been taken by Nepean. Nepean was in Lhasa from September 6th 1936 to December 14th 1936 and, if taken by him, the photograph must have been taken between those dates [MS 18/2/2005]
Other Information - Related Images: 1998.131.277 has also been inscribed in the negative with 'YN.41' [MS 16/03/2006]
Other Information - Dates: The date has been suggested by comparing this image with others taken by Chapman, which were clearly taken at the same time, and for which at possible date has been determined [MS 16/03/2006]
