THE UNVEILING OF LHASA, Edmund Candler, Nelson & sons, London, 1905, VG+ small 375 page hardback, original blue cloth, gilt titles & designs, 8 B&W plates, VG+., Edmund Candler (1874 - 1926) was a correspondant for the Daily Mail who accompanied the Younghusband expedition to Lhasa in 1903-4 whose putative aim was to settle disputes over the Sikkim-Tibet border; the expedition controversially became (by exceeding instructions from London) a de facto invasion of Tibet. His account of the difficulties and successes of the journey is considerably more chatty than most accounts of British military expeditions. $NZ65.
