Where Kabul, Afghanistan
When 1946
Photographer Maynard Owen Williams

"In an open-air shop in Kabul, a coppersmith fingers his prayer beads, as his tolerant eyes take the measure of writer-photographer Williams. Were he to change his dress, he would be very much at home in an American country store."

—From "Geographica/Classic: Back to Afghanistan," December 2004, National Geographic magazine
