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.

Verso: a horseman with a falcon, a drinker and a musician seated by a stream in a landscape, panel of Persian calligraphy in decoupe technique signed Fakhri, two further panels of Persian poetry in nasta`liq script, all mounted onto marbled (ebru) paper.
