Transcription: The transcription of this album by Mark Turin and Sara Shneiderman was carried out with reference to Krystina Cech’s catalogue list alone. Alex Nadin has since revised their cataloguing by systematically matching their records to the images. Margaret Williamson’s handwritten captions for photographs have now been transcribed into the Inscription field, and Cech’s descriptions appear in the Description field. Correct entries for Place, Named Person and Other Nos. have also been entered by Alex Nadin. [Sudeshna Guha 29/10/2002]

Place: Pede is situated on the Yamdrok Tso (lake) in southern Tibet, “Pede had a ruined dzong (fort) and was a regular stop-over for British missions on their way up to Lhasa.” [Source: http://tibet.prm.ox.ac.uk, JD 24/4/2009]
