Notes
This album features two Persian and Arabic calligraphy specimens, a painting attributed to Kishangarh, two composite drawings, and a fragment of a folio detached from a historical Persian work, all probably from India. The final folio bears the seal impression of Sir Elijah Impey (1732–1809) , hence the others may also possibly be from his collection, although reassembled into its present state and rebound in an Ottoman-style silk brocade for a subsequent owner.
