View of the town of Guzerat, in the Punjaub, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson
View of the town of Guzerat, in the Punjaub, [India], 1864. 'We have been favoured by Captain Edward Paske, of the Bengal Staff Corps, and Deputy Commissioner of the District of Guzerat, with a series of photographs, taken by Messrs. Fricke and Jung at his request, which represent some of the most interesting objects and scenes in that province of our Indian empire...The cultivated area of Guzerat comprises about 593,934 acres. Its chief agricultural products are wheat, barley, rapeseed, linseed, and tobacco in the spring crop; and buckwheat, rice, millet, oil seed, sugar-cane, and cotton in the autumn and harvest. The soil of the district is in many places admirably suited for the cultivation of flax and cotton; and the two rivers which flow on each side of the district afford great facilities for the transportation of agricultural and other products to the seaboard. Among the principal manufactures of the district may be mentioned the shawl and other woollen manufactures, conducted by the numerous "Cashmerees"...and the "koft gari," or inlaid iron or gold work produced by skilled artisans in the town of Guzerat'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
