Inscription: Numbered '809' in the negative.
Genre: Portrait Photography (generic types)
Bourne no. 809. Group portrait of Kashmiri women, seated and standing on a rug in front of an unidentified building, presumably at Srinagar. This is probably the group of nautch girls described by Bourne as being difficult to pose and photograph: 'They squatted themselves down on the carpet which had been provided for them, and absolutely refused to move an inch for the purpose of posing; so, after trying in vain to get them into something like order, I was obliged to take them as they were, the picture, of course, being far from a good one. A photograpjh hardly does justice to native beauty; the fair olive complexion comes out much darker than it appears to the eye, on account of its being a partially non-actinic colour' ('Narrative of a photographic trip to Kashmir and adjacent districts', British Journal of Photography, 1866).
