A great share, thank you.
The Bhutan photo is one from 1905 and appears to be photoshopped for publication...how on earth they photoshopped back then is beyond me though as the photo lacks the upper original background.
The photo is of Ugyen Wangchuck at the time of the photo he was the first "future" King of Bhutan.
Also pictured is his confidant Ugyen Dorje to his left and the others being his body guards. Of note are the Mughal shields and many wore Mughal chainmail too.
A great thread.
