Légende

The Mission to Yarkund and Kashgar: Bazaar at Leh, Middle Thibet, 1874. 'Ladak, the country east of Cashmere, is the upper valley of the great river Indus, but is a portion of Thibet, inhabited by Mongolians, who profess the Buddhist religion of the Lamas. The climate is intensely dry and cold, from the immense elevation of the country, which is a mere niche amongst the lofty mountains. Captain Chapman sends photographs of the palace, of the Lamas' monastery at Hemis, and of the bazaar in the town of Leh'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
