Description: | Photograph of snow covered mountians at Murree, now in Pakistan, taken by Baker and Burke in 1865, from the Macnabb collection. Murree is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas north-east of Islamabad in Pakistan. It was the summer residence of the local Government in the Punjab until 1876. There was a large military cantonment nearby, on the Grand Trunk road at Rawalpindi. The hill-station at Murree was established in 1851; it was the second largest hill-station in the area after the summer Presidency Capital at Simla. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Woodland Medicine And Healthcare Mountain Views Cartography And Topography Snow Science And Technology Landscapes Hills Natural World | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Baker and Burke | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
