Group photo, Tashi Lama with four men in western clothes, from a fascinating album which reveals new details on a little-known campaign in which a British military force brushed aside Tibetan defences to capture Lhasa, in 1904. The Tibet Expedition was launched from India and sanctioned by Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, who was concerned over Russian influence and supposed advance toward the border. The expedition eventually gained a number of concessions from Tibet, nominally under Chinese control at the time, but whether the effort was worth the return is certainly up for debate. This album came by direct descent from the family of Captain William Charles Hayman, ADC to the expedition's leader, Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service (Younghusband was accompanied by a strong military escort commanded by Brigadier General James Macdonald). The photographs show various elements of the expedition: military, monasteries, scenery, towns and locals. Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this group photograph, the Tashi Lama is seen posing with four men dressed in Western attire, marking an intriguing moment during the little-known Tibet Expedition of 1904. This expedition, launched from India under the authorization of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, aimed to counteract Russian influence and perceived advances towards the border. The Tibet Expedition, as revealed in this fascinating album, brought about significant concessions from Tibet, which was nominally under Chinese control at the time. However, the question of whether the endeavor was worth the return remains a topic of debate. This album, which has been passed down through the family of Captain William Charles Hayman, ADC to the expedition's leader, Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service, offers a unique glimpse into the campaign. Younghusband was accompanied by a strong military escort commanded by Brigadier General James Macdonald. The photographs in this album showcase various aspects of the expedition, including military scenes, monasteries, breathtaking scenery, towns, and locals. The group photograph with the Tashi Lama and the men in Western clothing is a testament to the cultural exchange that took place during this historic campaign. The Tibet Expedition of 1904 represents an intriguing chapter in the annals of British colonial history, and this album offers a valuable perspective on this often overlooked episode.
