(DALAI LAMA)
Vintage press photograph of Tenzin Gyatso (Chinese: 拉木登珠), 14th Dalai Lama, born 1935 and chosen 1940 but not formally enthroned until 1950.

Dutch Press label on verso identifying the photographer as Irene Slegt, undated, but ca. 1956.
Irene Slegt was one of the three brave women journalists, herself a photographer and war correspondent, who stayed and ended up with the 1500 refugees at the UN compound in Dili, East Timor, to report on the atrocities and erupting violence since the Independence referendum, and witnessed while the Indonesian army was purging the Timorese of their religion, culture and social fabric.
