Himalayan camps, glacier crevasses and stormbound passes dominate these prints by Arnold Henry Savage Landor, the painter and travel writer who was born in Florence, trained in art in Paris and published illustrated accounts of journeys across Asia and other continents before his death in 1924. They concentrate on Tibet and Nepal and date from 1905 to 1913. Portraits, clothing, prayer wheels and temple interiors sit beside yak transport, wool caravans and camps of black tents, set against moraine ice and the high mountain crossings. Several features carry names Landor used in his own published account, including glaciers named for members of his family.
