DescriptionThe reverse of this book page (removed at a prior date from the bound volume of which it was originally part) is adhered to a paperboard mount with gelatin adhesive and is therefore not visible. UV light reveals text on the verso, but it is unclear if there is another illustration or not. The text is Persian.
