- Notes:
- 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.

- 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.
