The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, will open Vanished Kingdoms: The Wulsin Photographs of Tibet, China, and Mongolia, 1921–1925 , an exhibition of 31 compelling images of rare colored lantern slides taken by two young Americans, Janet E. and Frederick R. Wulsin, Jr. Janet Wulsin was one of the first American women explorers to reach western China, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. Together they produced this series of superb photographs of the Ta'er, Labuleng and Zhuoni lamaseries, religious ceremonies, and landscapes they encountered during their expedition for the National Geographic Society in 1923. These photographs are being shown publicly for the first time.
