EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively houseboat party on the serene Jhelum River in Kashmir, India, dating back to the early 1900s. The image, taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, showcases the rich cultural heritage of this enchanting region. In the foreground of the picture, a man is seen skillfully playing a sitar, his fingers delicately strumming its strings. Dressed in traditional attire with an elaborate headdress and turban, he adds an element of elegance to the scene. Surrounding him are other men who are engaged in conversation or simply enjoying the music. The houseboats themselves create a picturesque backdrop against the riverbank. Adorned with plants and trees that add vibrancy to their surroundings, these floating abodes exude tranquility and charm. Stereoscopic photography techniques used by Underwood & Underwood bring depth and dimensionality to this mesmerizing snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this image today, it transports us back in time to witness not only a gathering of people but also offers glimpses into Indian culture during that era. With its blend of nature's beauty and human creativity intertwined harmoniously on water transport vessels like these houseboats along Jhelum River's tranquil waterscape – this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation for generations to come.
