Negative (black and white); Members of the British Trade Agency staff give lunch to Tering Raja on or around Christmas day 1927. Tering Raja is seated in the shadow under the awning in the centre of the group. Left to right, seated: unknown Tibetan youth, Sangster, Henry Martin, Major, Taring Raja, Dean. It was common for Agency staff to drink alcohol, as for many Tibetans, and social occasions were rare without alcohol flowing. However, some Agency staff were conscious of the reactions of their families in England to images such as this and this photograph seems to have been the subject of some discussion among Agency personnel [see Notes below].
