Légende
Historical Geography. 1900. India. A family photograph of Sikkim Bhotias of Tibetan origin, displays paternal authority with its formidable whip, motherly piety with a praying-wheel, and juvenile obedience seated humbly beneath. Their gorgeous apparel proclaims this is a wealthy family, for the mother has turquoise earrings and the daughter a jewel-studded charm-box. They are of a patriarchal race, sons bringing their wives to live under paternal roof.
