Woman in '....ordinary attire...belonging to the humbler orders of native society...Among the castes who sell milk, they aid in attending on the female buffaloes, prepare the milk, and carry it to market. To prevent, however, the necessity of their mingling too freely with the soldiery, the men themselves carry the milk to the camps, while their wives milk the buffaloes and conduct them to pasture...copied, by permission of Dr. George Burdwood, from a collection of drawings in the Museum of the India Government Office'.
