Title
Bailey Collection: Bhutan and Tibet. Photographer(s): Bailey, Frederick Marshman.
Date
c 1922
Description

A large collection of loose prints, the most significant portion of which relate to Bailey's 1922 trip to Bhutan to invest the Maharaja with the G.C.I.E. On this journey he was accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law, as well as Captain H.R.C. Meade of the Survey of India. Many of the photographs (among them the most precisely captioned and dated) taken on this journey are credited to Meade. Other material in this collection includes general views in Tibet, portraits, social groups, etc., duplicates of some of which will be found in other parts of the collection. The general level of captioning is variable, with a fair amount of material unidentified and no attempt has been made at this stage to provide a print-by-print listing.
