The memory of this sad tale is recalled by a beautiful little album recently purchased by the India Office Library, which bears the unhappy prince’s autograph inscription written across a splash of gold smeared over the delicately decorated flyleaf:—'This album was presented to his nearest and dearest friend, the Lady Nādirah Bēgam, by Prince Muhammad Dārā Shukoh, son of the Emperor Shahjahān, in the year 1051 (= A.D. 1641-2).'
