In the Shadow of the Himalayas: Tibet Bhutan Nepal Sikkim

John Claude White was a civil engineer by education, a colonial administrator by profession, and a photographer by vocation. His photographs of the Himalayas were taken from 1883 to 1908. Wherever he travelled, he photographed the world around him. Mules followed him on the rugged mountain trails bearing his photographic equipment, and ensuring that the fragile glass plates survived the long return trip south intact, to be printed by the Johnston and Hoffman photography studio. White spent his entire professional life working for the British Raj. This book is a tribute to this extraordinary photographer.White, John Claude is the author of 'In the Shadow of the Himalayas: Tibet Bhutan Nepal Sikkim', published 2005 under ISBN 9788188204250 and ISBN 8188204250.
