Archer on horseback, with Persian calligraphy (recto), and young dervish (verso), folio from an Ottoman album. Across Iran, India and Turkey, from the sixteenth century at least, albums (or muraqqa`) had become an important way of storing and presenting one's diverse collection of artworks on paper: valuable specimens of calligraphy, single-page paintings or drawings, and even European prints or Chinese paintings, all re-mounted in a careful sequence. This album was compiled in early seventeenth-century Ottoman Istanbul, probably for a private citizen. Album-page, ink, colours and gold on paper, mounted on gold-flecked card, four paintings and four calligraphy samples in Persian, one of twelve detached folios from an Ottoman album, assembled Istanbul, Turkey, c. 1620. Recto: an archer on a grey horse, lightly inscribed Bihzad, with two panels of Persian poetry in nasta`liq script, mounted in painted floral scrollwork border, set on larger gold-flecked album-page. Verso: young man in a Mevlavi cap, holding a book by a tree, mounted in painted floral scrollwork border, all mounted onto marbled (ebru) paper.
