One of the popular postcard views of this hillstation now in Pakistan and once on the major route to Kashmir from Punjab. Murree adheres tightly to a steep hillside. Note how the Protestant Church is on top, and the "native bazaar" descends below. This postcard was made from a photograph taken by Samuel Bourne when he visited Murree in 1864.
