Street scene in Gangtok, Sikkim, India, 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
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Gangtok, Sikkim, India, in 1904. This image is part of an intriguing album that offers a unique perspective on a little-known campaign in world history: the British Tibet Expedition. Led by Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service, this expedition was launched from India with the support of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, who was growing increasingly concerned over Russian influence and perceived advancements toward the border. The ultimate goal was to gain concessions from Tibet, which was nominally under Chinese control at the time. The album, which has been passed down through the family of Captain William Charles Hayman, who served as ADC (Aide-de-Camp) to Colonel Younghusband, provides a fascinating glimpse into this historic event. The photographs within the album showcase various aspects of the expedition, including military scenes, monasteries, breathtaking scenery, and local towns. This particular photograph captures the vibrant energy of Gangtok's streets, with locals going about their daily lives and merchants displaying their wares. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the region, which was on the brink of significant change due to the British expedition. The success of the expedition and its long-term impact on the region are still subjects of debate among historians. However, this album provides a valuable record of the events as they unfolded, offering a unique window into a pivotal moment in world history.
