Dal Lake Houseboats and Himalayan Range, Kashmir, India (WWII CBI-Era Scenic Photograph)
A tranquil view of houseboats lining the shore of Dal Lake in Kashmir, with the snow-capped Himalayas in the distance. During World War II, American servicemen stationed in the China-Burma-India Theater often traveled to Kashmir on leave, and scenic photographs like this one were popular souvenirs of their time away from the front.
