Lowell Thomas in Lhasa, Tibet, 1949
Abstract
Photographic image of University of Denver alumnus (B.A., M.A. 1912), journallist, broadcaster, and world traveler Lowell Thomas, with a Caucasian man believed to be Lowell Thomas, Jr.; and three unidentified Tibetan men. The photo is matted and this inscription is on the mat, in what is likely Thomas' own hand: "To the Jack Chapmans-Greetings from Lhasa. 1949. Lowell Thomas". The Tibetan Potala Palace is in the rear of the photograph. Thomas was invited to Tibet by the Dalai Lama. This image may have been copied and used to make postcards.
