[Kashmiri Soldiers. - Aborigines from Kulu and Mina. Nautch Girls of Kashmir - Indian Princes]

[Original title] Soldats Cachemiriens. - Aborigenes: Les Koulou Et Les Mina. Nautch Girls Du Cachemire. - Princes Indigenes.

Kashmir evoked special fascination among Europeans, especially for their nautch or dancing girls (who often came from Central Asia). The French would also have known Kashmir as the source for the beautiful woven Kashmiri shawls which became popular in the early 19th century.
