EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thubten Gyatso, the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet, circa 1910. The image is taken from a publication titled "Views of Darjeeling with Typical Native Portraits and Groups" by J. Burlington Smith, published by Hood & Co. Ltd in Middlesbrough around the same time period. In this portrait, Thubten Gyatso exudes an air of spiritual wisdom and leadership as he sits dressed in his traditional Tibetan costume. His direct gaze reflects his deep connection to Buddhism and his commitment to guiding his country spiritually. The photograph not only captures the essence of this revered religious figure but also offers a glimpse into early 20th-century India's cultural landscape. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of religion on society during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance while allowing viewers to focus on Thubten Gyatso's presence and aura. As we observe this remarkable portrayal, we are reminded of the profound impact that spiritual leaders like him have had on their respective countries throughout history. This print stands as a valuable piece of heritage that honors both Thubten Gyatso's legacy as well as the artistic vision captured by Unknown (creator), J Burlington Smith, Hood & Co. Ltd. , and The Print Collector who preserved it for future generations to appreciate.
