Portrait of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso
(b. 1935 in Takster)
Original silver-gelatin print taken in February 1961, at Swarg Ashram,
Dharamsala, India; by New York Times and National Geographic photo- journalist, American, William Hubbell. Pencil-signed verso by the
photographer, along with identifying notation in ink.
A striking early original portrait of the Nobel Laureate and spiritual friend
of millions; and, a early example of the work of a noted generalist
photographer whose career has spanned over fifty decades, and
continuing today. Excellent condition, with minor evidence of prior mounting verso, and a miniscule bump to one corner (see pics).
irregularly cropped, approximate dimensions = 9 5/8"W X 13 3/8"H
