EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the enchanting city of Srinagar in Kashmir, India during the 1860s-1870s. The image showcases a picturesque scene with its title "Srinager Cashmere Baker & Burke British 1867" hinting at the presence of British photographers Baker and Burke who were active during this period. The photograph is an albumen silver print, a popular technique used in early photography that involved coating paper with egg white and salt before sensitizing it with silver nitrate. This process resulted in stunningly detailed images like the one captured here. In this particular shot, we are transported to a serene corner of Srinagar where time seems to stand still. The calm waters of what appears to be Dal Lake reflect the surrounding architecture and vibrant vegetation, creating a harmonious blend of colors and textures. The composition exudes tranquility as we observe traditional wooden houseboats gently floating on the water's surface. These intricately crafted vessels have become iconic symbols of life on Dal Lake and offer visitors a unique way to experience its beauty. As we delve into this historical snapshot, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural significance. It serves as a testament to both Kashmir's rich heritage and the early pioneers of photography who ventured far from home to capture moments like these for generations to come.
