Illustrated Kashmir, 1870

by Labels:
Found these in 'Letters from India and Kashmir' by J. Duguid, 1870. [The illustrations are by MR. H. R. ROBERTSON, and engraved by MR. W. J. PALM KB, principally from the writer's Sketches.]


View from Shankarachary . Can't take camera up the hill these days.




If you take the road to Srinagar, a somewhat similar scene will greet you welcome.

Another familiar scene from Gulmarg. Godawalla and his Goda.


Familiar sound. Panic of Murgies.



Shawl-Wallas



Sheer Chai time.



Woman


Manasbal


On Sind river. Believed at once time to be the longest bridge ever in Kashmir having twelve arches.




Suspension bridge at Uri.
