HEINRICH HARRER: Limited Edition Portfolio
The only limited-edition portfolio ever produced from noted explorer Heinrich Harrer‘s archive of images of traditional Tibet shot between 1948 and 1951. This Portfolio offers an exclusive opportunity to acquire these ten rare and important historic photographs of Tibet. In addition, three photographs selected from the Portfolio are available as individual prints in a separate edition.
The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, the spiritual and political leader of Tibet, has signed each Message of Endorsement included with the Portfolios:
“Harrer was one of the few people living in Lhasa in the twilight years of Tibetan freedom who was able to photograph people and scenes from all walks of life. These photographs form a valuable record of Tibet as it was, and I am glad that they are being presented in this archival portfolio so that others may witness the contentment that was ours.”
