Historical Background

During the British Raj, Kashmir was celebrated for its breathtaking scenery in every season. While many visitors travelled during the summer months, winter revealed an entirely different landscape of snow-covered valleys, frozen streams and dramatic ice formations. Early photographic postcards such as this were produced to showcase Kashmir's remarkable natural beauty to travellers and collectors around the world.
