This historic print captures a pivotal moment in the history of Bhutan, showing British diplomat Ashley Eden being forced by the people of Bhutan to sign a treaty in 1864. The image conveys a sense of tension and unease, as Eden's frown reflects the pressure he must have felt during this significant event.
The document being signed symbolizes the complex relationship between Bhutan and India at that time, highlighting the political struggles and power dynamics at play. This photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by diplomats like Eden as they navigated negotiations with foreign nations.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of the key moments that shaped Bhutanese history. The expressions on the faces of both Eden and the Bhutanese people convey a mix of determination, defiance, and perhaps even resignation.
