Frederick Spencer Chapman in front of Kyichu, Lhasa. November 29th 1936.
This is one of the least formal shots taken during the 1936 British Mission to Lhasa. Taking a break from their duties, Spencer Chapman and Evan Nepean went swimming in the Kyi Chu river. They then photographed one another on the river bank with their shirts off. Chapman often walked in the countryside around Lhasa bird-spotting, collecting botanical specimens and taking photographs.
