This photograph may have been taken in Kashmir as Fred Bremner describes the beautiful carpets being made there. He wrote in his memoirs: "Srinagar has many factories and is full of interesting and fascinating wares. The carpets are known worldwide, carved walnut in beautiful and varied designs, silver and brass ware, papier-mâché work, silks, shawls, embroideries and other articles all go to show that the Kashmiri citizen has a wonderful sense of the artistic as well as being a very careful worker and particular in detail". Bremner produced several images of Indian artisans at work and this scene is typical of his compositions.
