This photograph of an Afghan water mill is from an album of rare
historical photographs depicting people and places associated with the
Second Anglo-Afghan War. The mill, rectangular shaped with a thatched
roof, was probably operated on a part-time basis by the family pictured
in the photograph. The water mill is a traditional design with a small
horizontal mill-house built of stone, or perhaps mud bricks. The men
look directly at the camera, but a woman wearing a chador partially
screens her face for modesty.
