Printed volume, with original photographs inserted, written by Colman Macaulay. Macaulay undertook his mission in October-November 1885, and reported enthusiastically on the value of extending British relations with Tibet, but though he was chosen to lead a subsequent mission to promote this, an Anglo-Chinese treaty led to its abandonment. In his introduction to the present volume, he notes that 'photographs were taken on the journey' (though without indicating the photographer), and the book consists mainly of his diary. The photographs are mostly scenes on the road, though a few show people.
