1874 Antique Persian Lithograph Calligraphy Book Mirza Sanglakh Tabriz Qajar
Rare 19th-century Qajar-era Persian lithograph publication, Tazkirat al-Khattatin (Imtiyaz al-Fuzala), authored by the renowned Persian master calligrapher and poet Mirza Sanglakh (printed in Tabriz, 1291 AH / 1874 AD). This historically significant work covers the biographies, styles, and poetry of legendary Islamic and Persian master calligraphers and scholars, featuring wide margins, dense Nasta'liq script, and decorated lithographic section headings. Please note that this volume is an incomplete/partial copy: it lacks the primary title page at the beginning and ends with catchwords indicating missing final leaves, serving as a substantial and text-heavy section of the original work rather than a complete edition. Despite being incomplete, it remains a highly collectible and valuable primary source for scholars, conservators, and collectors of Islamic calligraphy, Persian printing history, and 19th-century Iranian art.
