River boy of Kashmir, 1946


Some illustrations by Margaret Ayer for Jean Bothwell’s ‘River boy of Kashmir’ (1946)

It is interesting to note that a lot of the illustrations in such books were based on the imagery created by photographs of Kashmir that were reaching Kashmir.

The above illustration is based on a photograph by Randolph B. Holmes in around 1915

from Tyndale Biscoe’s book ‘Character Building in Kashmir’ (1920)
