Framed Print of The Yarkund Mission: akoe or Kirgiz tent, occupied by the travelling party, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Yarkund Mission: akoe or Kirgiz tent, occupied by the travelling party, 1874. Scene from...the journey of Mr. Douglas Forsyth and his party from India across the Himalayas and Karakorum mountains. [Engraving from a sketch by Captain Chapman showing] the akoe, or Kirghiz tent, which was pitched for the accommodation of the English travellers by the chief of a wandering tribe in the neighbourhood. It was used by the Englishmen as a smoking-divan, since they had their own tents for ordinary habitation. A peep into our akoe, with the attendants spreading the dastarkhwan for a comfortable repast, is the subject of our Illustration...Mirza Yakoob Beg Umsah, as the Dadkwah's representative, entertained our countrymen with liberal hospitality. At Shahid-ulla-Khoja, the temperature being sometimes as low as 4 deg. Fahr. with a piercing cold wind, the shelter of the Khirgiz akoe was highly appreciated'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
