A century ago, this image of a “Lama Beggar” circulated widely on postcards across British India. The photograph’s original source remained unidentified, but it can now be attributed to Johnston & Hoffmann, one of colonial India’s most important photographic studios. 🧵 🗃️ 📜 #Tibet
A monochrome, highly textured image depicts a figure wearing a  patterned cap, layered clothing, and several beaded or garland-like strands around the neck. One hand holds a long, curved horn to the mouth. On the left, the figure holds a large round drum. The image has muted gray, black, and off-white tones, strong shadowing, and an indistinct, rough-textured background that looks like foliage.A black-and-white photograph shows a person standing barefoot among tall grasses and dense vegetation. The person wears a dark brimmed hat, layered robe-like clothing, necklaces, and a belt pouch. They hold a large round object on a short handle in one hand and raise a small, trumpet-like wind instrument to their mouth with the other. A light border surrounds the photograph, and a caption appears along the bottom.
