Synopsis:

The Emperors' Album presents 98 leaves from the sumptuous family album begun under the patronage of the Mughal emperor Jahangir and continued under his son Shah Jahan in the first half of the 17th century. This remarkable album, created by important artists of the court, brings together portraits of the imperial family, their friends and rivals; superb calligraphic works by the preeminent scribes of the day; and a magnificent group of natural history studies, all set within borders decorated with flowers and arabesques. Includes an introductory essay by Stuart Cary Welch in which he traces the history of the album and offers an aesthetic and historical appreciation of the portraits, as well as two additional essays dedicated to the album's calligraphy and borders.
