painting and calligraphy of the Islamic world from the Shavleyan family collection
191 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 31 cm
A stunning collection, accumulated over many years, of paintings, drawings and calligraphy of the highest quality mostly created for albums from the Safavid, Uzbek, Ottoman and Mughal Empires from the 16th to early 19th century. Lavishly illustrated, this unusually exquisite and scholarly book is a noteworthy addition to its field.
Will Kwiatkowski ; with contributions by John Seyller.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 190-191).
