520 3 |a After many disappointments, Frederich R. Martin, a well-known collector and scholar of Islamic art, was eventually able to acquire various jealously guarded portfolios of sketches, models and paper stencils from Istanbul’s calligraphers and artists. Consisting of sixteenth to ninenteenth-century material, his collection contained about two thousand items, batches of which he donated to museums and interested individuals. -- The stencils, done by needle-point, were used to outline not only patterns but also miniatures, and explain, as he put it, ‘why there are so many copies of the same Persian miniatures and why forgeries generally are so good in lines and so bad in colours’ (Text by Anna Contadini, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
