Rosemary Jones Tung

Not a great copy but okay. Dedicated to Tibetan people, inside and outside. Mentions that Frank Lloyd Wright’s student believes that the great architect was strongly influenced by the Potala. A large image hung on his wall, the only building he did not build.

Lovely photos of a (almost) lost world. A lot of information, a look inside a hidden society, a very readable book.

This book contains some of the only photographs ever taken in Tibet before China took over. Tibet was always an isolated country, so very little of their history was recorded or observed by the Western world. Tung provides a very valuable and beautiful resource.
