Summary

Durbar of King Ugyen Wangchuck, receiving the order of the Knight Commander of the Indian Empire, KCIE — at Punakha, Bhutan, 1905.
Seated from the left wall - Subadar Jahandad Khan (40th Pathans), A.W. Paul, Major Rennick, John Claude White;

White created a rich and detailed photographic account of the culture and scenery of the Himalayas during his travels through the region. John Falconer, curator of photographs at the British Library’s Oriental and India Office Collections described White's work as "probably one of the last, and certainly among the most impressive products of a tradition of quasi-amateur photography which had flourished among administrators and military personnel in India since the 1850s." The 2005 book In the Shadow of the Himalayas: Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim : a Photographic Record by John Claude White, 1883–1908 contains an anthology of Himalayan photos taken by White.
