Notlar	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.
