Dealer Notes
Yakushi M203. Rubeigh James Minney (1895-1979) was an author and film-producer who began his career as a journalist in India. He became known for his 1931 biography of Clive of India, and among the films he produced was ‘The Wicked Lady’. In 1919 he travelled from Darjeeling on horseback through Sikkim to Tibet, reaching the Nathu La and Jelep La, but he was unable to enter Tibet; he returned via Kalimpong. Midst Himalayan Mists is the very scarce published account of this journey.
