• Mike Grimes said:

  According to this page the photo was made, but probably not taken, by Francis Frith. Mussucks were a large water-bag of skin or leather used by a Hindu bheesty or water-carrier. It is usually the whole skin of a goat or sheep tanned and dressed. In this picture they are probably bullock skins.

  Perhaps it was actually Samuel Bourne who took it?

  The Beas, one of the five tributaries of the Indus that gives the Punjab ("five rivers") its name, was first bridged by the Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway as early as 1869. Badly damaged by floods in 1871 and subsequently rebuilt, by 1908 the cast-iron edifice was in need of replacement.
