Notes
Album of forty-two folios (originally forty) that feature Persian and South Asian paintings and calligraphy, assembled for Swiss mercenary Colonel Antoine-Louis-Henri Polier (d. 1795) , probably at Lucknow and overseen by artist Mihr Chand , between 1780 to 1787 . Titled ‘Volume quatorsieme’ (Volume 14), it is one of twenty-one of Polier's albums that survive today.
