The first photo of Tibet in the old photo of Lhasa, Tibet in 1901

The old photos of Lhasa in Tibet from 1900 to 2001 were taken by Ovshe Norzunov&nbsp

If you want to ask who took the first picture of Lhasa in Tibet, we can now answer that it was taken by the Russian Buryat monks Cuibikov and Norzunov in 1901, and the pictures they took are considered to be“ The earliest Tibet image”. He was published in the French magazine Geography in 1901 and the American magazine National Geography in 1904. They were more than three years earlier than the pictures taken by the British MacDonald and Rong Hepeng when they invaded Tibet in 1904

At the end of the 19th century, in order to seize the first opportunity in the infiltration of western China, Russia began to cultivate the minority Mongolian ethnic group that believes in Tibetan Buddhism in China and conduct intelligence collection for them. Because of the similarity in language, appearance, and belief, they can better hide their identity in the process of sneaking in

There are more than 50 photos in this group, and only a part of them are shown here. If you need all the large pictures, please contact the editor for them
