Four of the poetic compositions in this album are signed by Fath'ullah and dated AH 1314/1896-87 AD. They were written for Aqa Mirza Husayn Khan Doktor-e Hakimbashi (court physician). A further page of couplets on marbled paper is signed by Fath'ullah and dated AH 1314 1896-97 AD and another page with a single couplet bears his signature. Fath'ullah Jalali (d. AH 1336/1917-18 AD) was a student of Jalal al-Din Huma'i. Amongst his surviving works are the first part of the newspaper Farhang that was published in Isfahan as well as the Diwan of Zahir al-Din Faryabi that is credited with being the first stone lithograph in Iran. He was also responsible for architectural inscriptions including those on the Sufi lodge of Hajj Muhammad Ja'dar Abadei in Isfahan and an inscription on the mihrab of the Mosque of Haji Sayyid Javad in Isfahan, dated AH 1316/1898-99 AD (Mehdi Bayani, ahval va asar-e khosh-nevisan, vol.II. no.751, pp.563-564).
A further page of couplets in the album is signed by 'Abd al-Rahim and dated AH 1310/1892-93 AD. 'Abd al-Rahim is possibly 'Abd al-Rahim Afsar (d. ca. AH 1315/1897-98 AD), who was son of Mirza Miskin Sha'ir Isfahani and the father of Fath'ullah Jalali. He also contributed to the first part of the newspaper Farhang. For his various works, including manuscripts, architectural inscriptions and album pages dated between AH 1279 and 1300/1862 and 1882 AD see Bayani, op.cit., vol.II., no.532, pp.381-384.
