Kim, the Chela, and the Lama: De Laurence’s Plate
A young companion stands beside a tall, robed elder with a large pale disc behind them. The younger figure holds a narrow object across the shoulder; the elder’s staff reaches towards the ground. The book’s caption names Kim, the chela, and an old lama seeking the way, truth and light. The named literary figures give the image a more specific setting than an anonymous pair of occult practitioners.
