Wife of Tendon Dzongpon, Lhasa


Wife of Tendon Dzongpon, Lhasa, originally uploaded by jiulong.

Not really related to Joseph Rock, but I couldn't resist linking to these beautiful colour photographs of Tibet from the same era. They were taken by British envoy Spencer Chapman during an official expedition to Lhasa in the 1930s. The whole collection can be seen at:
