Around 1650, two Jesuits, Fathers Grueber and d'Orville, were accorded a good reception in "Cadmendu" on their way from Peking to India. Later, some Capuchin monks established themselves at Kathmandu and Bhatgaon until expelled by King Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1769, after which Nepal was closed to foreigners until well into this century. The scholar Gustave le Bon (1841-1931) was fortunate to make a scientific mission to the Kathmandu valley in 1886, and his excellent drawings were published in Le Tour du Monde in 1886, and later very good photographs were included in his large work, Les Monuments de l'Inde, published in 1893. |
