Description
A handsome small-format book in Persian language contains 8 illustrations and a version of the love story of Shirin and Farhad, better known in the variation of the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (1141–1209) Khosrow and Shirin. The examples is bound in a crude, but charming contemporary binding.
As the book does not have an imprint, nor a title, we could not find any other examples in institutions. We also could not trace any comparable examples in the bibliography of Persian illustrated lithographed books Ulrich Marzolph, Narrative illustration in Persian lithographed books, 2001.
