This is an original 1929 black and white halftone print of a small "stone dwelling" in what is now the Mili Tibetan Autonomous County of China's Sichuan Province. This area was at one time run by a Lamaseries, or Buddhist Theocratic Kingdom ruled by the hereditary Lamas. In the fifties, the monastery was destroyed by the Communist government, but has since been restored and is developing itself again.
This piece is part of a chronicling of the South China expedition of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt.
