Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and the Salaman and Absal of Jami — page 133: Penny Dreadfuls, 1900

What you’re looking at

This is the final page of a narrative section titled "Salaman and Absal" (page 107). The visible text consists of five lines of verse in which a narrator concludes an explanation of a mystery, instructing the reader to contemplate its meaning deeply until its secrets are fully understood. The narrator then announces the closing of the written summary and the setting of a seal. Below the text appears a circular red stamp reading "THE TRUTH GOD ONLY KNOWS," which appears to be either a publisher's mark or a seal referenced in the verse. The page is framed with decorative black ornamental borders typical of Victorian printing.
