- P. 272 "Mar Gabriel is a generous and noble, but still wild young man. His confinement, when he commenced learning English with us, soon proved intolerable to his restless spirit." For this portrait, Mar Gabrial wears a dark aba (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 11) over a bright blue caba (Shoberl 1845, p. 45) or qaba (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 10) trimmed in red and tied with a patterned girdle. His two toned blue and red headgear is loose, hanging slightly to one side of his head and has a tassel at the tip of the crown.

- P. 34 "The second officer is the Ichic-Agasee, whom Morier calls the master of ceremonies: he superintends the porters, ushers, door-keepers, and other officers of that class belonging to the palace. Before him is borne a gold stick covered with precious stones, which is the mark of his dignity: and when the king quits his seraglio, he takes it in this hand, standing at some distance of his majesty's person, and endeavoring to anticipate his commands from his looks." P. 62-63 "This is not the only occasion on which the khilauts is conferred: it is given by the king, in token of his approbation or favor, to such of his own subjects as are deemed deserving of the honour, and to ambassadors or other foreigners who visit his court. it's quality, and the number of articles of which it is composed, differ with the rank and favor of the receiver. A common khilauts consists of a caba or coat; a kemerbund, or zone; a gouchpeesh, or shawl for the head: when it is intended to be more distinguishing, a sword or a dagger is added. To persons of distinction rich furs are given, such as a catabee or a coordee; but when the khilauts is complete..."

- P. 5 "This roughness of the country, added to the ferocity of the people, renders portions of it well nigh inaccessible, and, consequently, little known to civilized nations. The accompanying drawing very well represents the common appearance of the Koordish warrior." The warrior on horseback is well armed with a spear, shield, and sword. He wears the traditional shalwar, tunic, caba (Shoberl 1845, p. 34) or qaba (Vogalsang-Eastwoodand p. 10), and gouchpeesh (Shoberl pa. 68) as a turban. He wears a beard and mustache.

- P. 283 "The accompanying drawing gives a good idea of the appearance of Persian ladies at home and we may at least presume that the Princess was as fair as the representation. Among the higher classes, the ladies devote a large portion of their time to the toilet. Inspection of the drawing will remind the readers that painting and tight-lacing are not confined to the Western continent. Persian ladies color their eyebrows black the hair being combed down upon the forehead and cut short about them the nails both of their fingers and toes auburn, and their cheeks red." This image of a Persian woman shows her wearing the headcloth known as the charqat (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 16). What appears to be a skirt is a very full cut pair of trousers or zeer-djameh (Shoberl 1845, p. 110-111).
