A translation of the Farsi poem that appears around the illustration is contained on folio 343.The volume includes a divider which gives the year that the subject file was opened and the subject heading. This divider is placed at the front of the volume.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence commences at the inside front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 448; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
