- Notes:
- Muleteers have a distinct look to their costume. The goatskin cape with hair still in place serves as a practical garment no only for warmth but also for the repelling of rain. He wears the short shalwar (Shoberl 1845, p. 118) or shalvar (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 8) and knee high, laced boots with a curled toe. Like the other men he is wearing the kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12).

- In this image, a Persian soldier is wearing the short shalwar (Shoberl 1845, p. 113) or shalvar (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 8) with knee-high boots. His jacket is similar to military wear of European soldiers and is completed by the wearing of a belt and a sash. The headgear of the soldier is very different from that of European soldiers in that it is the same conical, fur cap, kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12), worn by the scribe, priest, and other males pictured in this work. Unlike these other figures, he wears only the mustache.

- Notes:
- This image of a Persian scribe shows him dressed very well in a yellow tunic covered by the caba (Shorberl 1845, p. 34) or qaba (Vogalsang-Eastwood, p. 10). Under the tunic he wears long shalwar. On his feet he wears socks and slippers with heels. His hat is the kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12) seen in many of this book's illustrations. This scribe also wears the beard and mustache of this region.
