Gulmarg, Kashmir
Srinagar on the Jhelum, Kashmir

J.W. Groves is an Impressionism artist. 26 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Photographer J.W. Groves captured Kashmir in the 1890s, leaving behind glass-plate prints of landmarks like Nedou’s Hotel in Gulmarg and the post office entrance in Islamabad. His lens framed scenes where locals and visitors mixed near the Jhelum River in Srinagar and sacred fish tanks dotted with carp. Each 1894 shot is a quiet slice of colonial-era life, crisp and unfiltered. Want to step into another 1890s scene? Tap “Sacred Fish Tanks, Kashmir.”
