Citation/References: Rock, Joseph Francis Charles, Diary, 1924-1927, vol. 3, Archives, Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh Library. / Excerpt from May 28, 1925: "I was ushered into the little room where he receives visitors of note. They were just dressing him up, a little boy of 10 years of age. We arranged a place in the main room which was full of guilded [sic] statues of Buddhas and Fuyes.... They arranged him on a chair or low stool on a yellow carpet. He was carefully dressed in a gold brocade jacket, red mantle and large Tibetan boots. He sat very quietly while I took many photos of him.... They changed his ja[c]kets and placed a yellow mitre on his head. I then photographed the old father, a tall Tibetan. They are Litang people from Sze-chuan...." (10-11) |
