Chitra Katha photo poster No. 4: Sheep breeding in Pakistan (Bengali, Dacca)
A Bengali-language photo page for USIS Dacca about the Jaba government sheep-breeding centre in northern Pakistan. Photographs show US and Pakistani officials with imported Rambouillet sheep, a shearing machine and a dipping apparatus. The page credits the U.S. International Cooperation Administration with help to the centre. The tell is card-stacking: a development project is shown through its successes and the American assistance behind them.
