This page once formed part of an album assembled for Nur al-Din Jahangir (ruled 1605-1627), the fourth Mughal ruler of India. The borders, which depict artisans of a library at work, were painted at the beginning of the 17th century. Beginning at the upper-right and moving counterclockwise, the borders show a burnisher smoothing and polishing paper, a stamper creating designs in a leather cover, a sizer trimming the leaves of a manuscript, a woodworker sawing a bookstand, a gilder preparing gold leaf, and a calligrapher writing.
