Summary: "Tibet & Nepal: Painted & described" by A. Henry Savage Landor is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the author’s explorations of Tibet and Nepal, focusing on the landscapes, cultures, and experiences he encounters during his journey. The book serves as both a descriptive account and an artistic documentation, enriched by illustrations that capture the essence of the regions. The opening of the book introduces Landor's determination to return to the Himalayas after his previous harrowing experiences in Tibet.
