Black tents, prayer wheels and glacier journeys fill prints from Tibet & Nepal, painted and described by A. Henry Savage Landor and published by A. & C. Black in London in 1905. Portraits and scenes of religious practice sit beside the author's camps, pack animals and mountain travel, with yak caravans carrying wool, difficult river crossings, snowy passes and exposed glacier ice. Temple interiors and ritual objects offer a closer view against the vast high-altitude landscapes. Several illustrations record place names Landor used, including features named for his family, tying the scenery to his own account of the journey.
