  • From Kashmir to Kabul by Omar A. Khan (2002). The harsh beauty of this region has been luring photographers since the Victorian age, the most famous of whom were two Irishmen William Baker and John Burke. The book chronicles their early days in Peshawar and their move to Murree, the Himalayan hill station on the border of Kashmir. It follows their documenting of the Afghan Wars, some of the earliest war photography, and their return to the plains of Lahore, where they continued to photograph the region’s people and landscape.
