The inscription in the border is missing at the top but it would appear to indicate that the album or the border was made in AH 1309 / 1891-2 AD for the Qajar prince and statesman Abu’l-Fath Mirza Mu’ayyad al-Dawla, governor of Khorasan and Sistan and custodian of the shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad.
