Footnotes
The fine photographs were taken by John Burke (1843-1900), a commercial photographer operating from Murree and Peshawar. He accompanied, alongside two "native surveyors, Thakoor Dass and Habeeb-oo-lah", Cole's expedition to the Kashmir Valley in October 1868 to survey the great pre-Islamic temples scattered through the region.
