A man and woman with yaks and donkeys standing on a hillside with a tree in the background. This image may have been taken near Dochen, which was en route from Gyantse to Yatung and may, therefore, have been taken between January 21st - 25th 1927 when Hopkinson left Gyantse for the first time to return to Yatung.

Other Information

In Negative - 'A35' has been written on the right edge of the negative in black ink. The negative has been machine perforated along the left side. 21 holes have been perforated in total [MS 12/05/2006]

Notes on print/mount - One contact print made from this negative is contained in A. J. Hopkinson's negative case with the negative. The print appears to have been removed from an album, as there are traces of black mounting paper around the edges of the print as if it has been taken out after previously being glued in place. A partially decipherable caption has been written on the back in pencil: "Tibetan traders". The number 2 has been written on the front top right corner in pencil. [MS 24/06/2006]
