- Imagen de la portada: Kashmir shawl embroidered with a map of Srinagar (detail). Northwest India, ca. 1870. 2.29 x 1.98m. Embroidered Kashmir shawls were produced in large numbers during the 19th century.It maps the delights of Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir, in fine coloured wools on a ground of twill-woven pashmina (goat hair). This detail shows some of the gardens and channels around Lake Dal. The densely planted enclosure on the left of this scene is the Bagh-i Nasim or "Garden of the Breeze", which is the earliest of the Mughal gardens built in Srinagar. It was originally laid out by the Emperor Akhar in the second half of the 16th century. The gardens teem with birdlife, while a variety of boats throng the channels, one at least containing a distinguished, probably princely, passenger.
- Imagen de la portada: Chal de Cachemira bordado con un mapa de Srinagar (detalle). Noroeste de la India, hacia 1870. 2,29 x 1,98 m. Durante el siglo XIX se produjeron grandes cantidades de chales de Cachemira bordados. Esta pieza plasma los encantos de Srinagar, la capital de Cachemira, mediante finas lanas de colores sobre una base de pashmina (pelo de cabra) tejida en sarga. Este detalle muestra algunos de los jardines y canales que rodean el lago Dal. El recinto densamente arbolado que aparece a la izquierda de la escena es el Bagh-i Nasim o "Jardín de la Brisa", el más antiguo de los jardines mogoles construidos en Srinagar. Fue trazado originalmente por el emperador Akbar en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI. Los jardines rebosan de aves, mientras que una variedad de embarcaciones recorre los canales; al menos una de ellas transporta a un pasajero distinguido, probablemente de rango principesco.
