Other Information - Setting


Other Information - Setting: These spaniels were intended to be given as a gift to the Reting Regent in Lhasa. Chapman describes the handing over of presents to the Regent on August 28th 1936: "As soon as we presented scarves and drunk tea - both Tibetan and European drink was served - our presents were brought in a given to the Regent. ... They also included the "Kharita" (letter of salutation) and a signed photograph from the Viceroy of India, and three young spaniels that we had brought up to Lhasa as a personal gift from His Excellency to the Regent. It is not the custom to show any pleasure at the receipt of presents, but the young Regent could hardly conceal his delight with the dogs, which, I regret to say, did not behave very well on this their first experience of the inside of a house" ['Lhasa: The Holy City', F. Spencer Chapman, London: Chatto & Windus, 1938, p.100] [MS 01/04/2006]
