This copy is from renowned collectors of metalworks and the original owner's nameplate is tastefully placed on the inner front board of book. If you wish to research his name, it is Frederick Wilkins of San Antonio, Texas (see photo).
Wilkins was married to Frances Semaan who had a career in Oriental carpet and art objects. The couple shared an interest in Near Eastern and Islamic art, amassing a large collection through their travels and their own 300-plus-piece collection was donated to the San Antonio Museum of Art.
This copy is in excellent condition and is covered with a thick piece of protective plastic over covers with 2 small tears in the plastic only, it has protected the book well. No bumps, tears or markings aside from previous owner's nameplate as noted and shown in photo.
