[Original caption] Rose Harvest. All these roses and bushels more like them are being brought to the attar-maker, to be spread out in the sun in tubs of water and by his alchemy to be changed into that exquisite perfume that once cost a shilling a drop. Among the Moors the Dutt tribe are great makers and vendors of attar-or-roses. [end]

Certainly a beautiful card, but the caption is muddled: Moors is an Orientalist confusion with Indians.
