Black and white photos of Kuchis (Pashtun nomads)

Here are two black and white photos of Pashtun nomads from "Afghanistan: Ancient Land with Modern Ways," a book published by Afghanistan's Ministry of Planning in 1961. Pashtun nomads are also known as Kuchis and travel seasonally between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
