Named Person: Tobgye’s servant is wearing a Tibetan/Sikkime’s chuba and a cap. [Dawa Dem 23/9/2008]

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: Entry previously recorded place as “Asia; South Asia” but captioning suggests that the photograph was taken in Bhutan. Other photographs taken on the 25 September 1934 showing Tobgye’s men were taken in Damthang, 8 miles from Ha. Kolkata (Culcutta). Compare with P.97517.WIL. [Source: MSN.Mappoint.com] [JD 22/1/2007]
