A Jhoola, or rope bridge at Largee, in Kooloo. Photographer: Clarke, Melville
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
A negative print, showing a figure being winched across the river. Caption note continues: 'The Jhoola, common in the hills, is formed of ropes loosely suspended from bank to bank, attached at both ends to trees or rocks. The piers of a Saungur, which has been carried away by the torrent, are here visible. The method of drawing the traveller across by ropes is represented in the picture. The Jhoolas are impassible to heavy cattle, but sheep and goats are slung across, in couples, fastened together, suspended by their four feet.'
Subjects = bridges; Clarke, M., 'From Simla through Ladac and Cashmere' (1862); river scenes
