Tibet: Caught in Time Hardcover - 1998
by John Clarke
Tibet is famed for its majestic beauty, and also for its ongoing struggle for cultural survival. This collection of photographs from the British Library, taken by two British diplomats in the early 20th century, shows traditional Tibetan culture before Chinese rule was imposed. These were the final decades of a society that had changed little since the Middle Ages, but was about to be savagely oppressed. The photos, caught in a window of time, form a treasured record of the true spirit of Tibet.
