The photographs were taken by John Claude White, an officer during a British campaign in Tibet. It was the first time the British had been given access to the country.

According to the auction news release, "Officially the mission's purpose was to settle a border dispute between Sikkim and Tibet, but it turned into a full-scale invasion with the aim of establishing a strong British presence." Britain's goal was to prevent Russia from gaining power.

The British essentially forced their way into Tibet. And during the expedition, led by Major Francis Younghusband, nearly 700 Tibetan monks were killed at the village of Guru.
