Description: | Full-length portrait of two male musicians carrying a 'dhol', a type of double-ended drum, and a stringed instrument known as 'sarangi' or fiddle. They are accompanied by two female dancers. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s. It is from a collection of portrait studies of individuals and groups from Eastern Bengal (modern Bangladesh and Assam). They were taken in or around a temporary studio constructed from wicker panels with an open roof to admit light onto the subject. The figures stand in front of the studio in this view. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
