Notes: Handwritten manuscript in pencil between thick boards, loose binding, brittle and fragile. On the back cover there are some embossed letters. There are 22 pated in photographs, most of which depict women in erotic positions scantily dressed of European origin, posing in photo studio. Details of the photos: in total 22 b/w, 4 of them missing from the frame, 1 in colour. This type formatting a manuscript is characteristic of some of RH Abdullah’s other works as well, such as Syair Ghayatul Muna Cetera Mirza Khan.
