Scene at Phari bazaar, in Yadong County, on the Tibet border, with Mount Jomolhari or Chomolhari (2400 feet) in the distance, 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
This photograph, titled "Scene at Phari Bazaar," offers a glimpse into the little-known British military expedition to Tibet in 1904, as depicted in an intriguing album that has come down through the family of Captain William Charles Hayman. The image captures the bustling Phari bazaar in Yadong County, situated on the Tibet border, with the majestic Mount Jomolhari or Chomolhari (24,000 feet) standing proudly in the distance. The Tibet Expedition, led by Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service, was launched from India under the auspices of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, who was apprehensive about Russian influence and perceived advances toward the border. The expedition resulted in several concessions from Tibet, which was nominally under Chinese control at the time. However, the worth of this campaign is still a subject of debate. The album, which includes a range of photographs, provides a fascinating insight into the expedition, showcasing various elements such as military camps, monasteries, scenic landscapes, towns, and local inhabitants. This photograph, in particular, offers a vibrant portrayal of the bustling Phari bazaar, where Tibetans traded goods and interacted with the British military force. Captain Hayman, who served as an ADC (Aide-de-Camp) to Colonel Younghusband, accompanied the expedition and was part of the strong military escort commanded by Brigadier General James Macdonald. The images in this album offer an invaluable record of this historic campaign, providing a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of India and Tibet.
