Amir Toos




Link

Apologies, for it's so tiny:

The History of Hindostan by Firishtah Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah Astarabadi

Translated from the Persian by Alexander Dow
First published 1770-1772

Featuring tales of Amir Toos, a General in the government of the Persian district of Badwird who was defeated by the Turkmans.

And below, another, younger Amir Toos in NYC (wearing a fine example of the hunting jackets Woolrich made in the 1940's).
