October 31, 2005: California Collector of Asian Books Treks Through Himalayas
"Two decades ago, architect Kurt Meyer stumbled upon an album of some of these photographs he bought from a friend. Meyer has been a collector of rare books on Central Asia and the Himalayan regions. “The collection literally set me off like a detective to find whatever other photographs that might have still survived,” says the 83-year-old Californian."
"Meyer travelled to the US, Nepal, London and even Kolkata, 'to search for the studio where some of White’s box cameras may be found'".
