Ladak, the Capital of Little Thibet: Party of Punjaub Irregulars, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Ladak, the Capital of Little Thibet: Party of Punjaub Irregulars, 1857. This strangely-built town is situated in a district which becomes interesting in connection with our war with Persia. Ladak is the capital of Little Thibet, and is almost four miles from the right bank of the Indus...The town is built at the foot of a hill, on the top of which are the remains of an old fort...spreading to the right and left, are from three hundred to four hundred houses, all built of stone to a height some ten or twelve feet from the ground...The inhabitants are a strange mixture of Tartars, Affghans, Cashmeries, Chinese, and almost every other nation under the sun. There seems to be little or no trade beyond ponies and Yarkand horses. The Illustration is from the sketchbook of a Correspondent, who has introduced in the foreground a party of Punjaub Irregulars turning out.'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
