Title
Bailey Collection: 'Tibet 1904-1905. Photographs by F.M.B.' Photographer(s): Bailey, Frederick Marshman.
Date
1904
Description

Green half-leather bound album measuring 272x373mm, containing snapshots mounted from four to eight to a page, with pencilled captions written beneath. All the photographs appear to be duplicated in the main series of albums relating to the Younghusband Expedition, although in the many instances the prints are better preserved in this volume. Although dated 1904-05, all the images seem to date from 1904, covering the period of the Mission's advance through Tibet to Lhasa and the signing of the treaty in September. The chronological sequence of the album is confused, and it may well have been compiled by someone without detailed knowledge of the events documented.
