The sticks and guards were usually made of wood, bone, ivory or tortoiseshell, and the leaves of fine skin, paper or silk. Fans with translucent mica inserts had been made since the late sixteenth century, but examples with leaves made mainly of mica are now extremely rare. Only three examples are known that are strictly comparable to this one, which is constructed of three rows of mica panels, naively painted with children, dogs, birds and rose sprays, and mounted between strips of painted and gilt paper. This example is one of over 500 fans and unmounted fan leaves, both European and Oriental, acquired from the late Anne, Countess of Rosse. They had been amassed by her father Colonel Leonard Messel (187201953), who was among the earliest English collectors to value fans for their historical and aesthetic interest rather than viewing them simply as costume accessories or family heirlooms. reference term-106453 adlib-term-106453 60056370-7375-3dac-996c-6cc9d5db35a9 17th Century, Late reference term-108963 adlib-term-108963 1fe700c4-66f7-3c5f-bfb8-74069ac8fdec literal Europe Europe country Europe Width cm 45 Width in 17 3/4 reference media-187442 adlib-media-187442 77a31933-72a2-3b78-8213-1a0d0019ce20 jpeg aa/aa30/M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 607 width pixels 1024 1742596860084 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/mid_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 296 width pixels 499 1742596860084 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 607 width pixels 1024 1742596860084 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/preview_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 148 width pixels 250 1742596860084 1 image 0 media image reference media-187443 adlib-media-187443 208e183d-5b2e-3b44-9749-538f437d8c88 jpeg aa/aa30/M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 599 width pixels 1024 1742596839825 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/mid_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 292 width pixels 499 1742596839825 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 599 width pixels 1024 1742596839825 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/preview_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 146 width pixels 250 1742596839825 1 image 1 media image reference media-971430124 portfolio portfolio-media-971430124 27512cec-0c3d-36d7-847c-4909ba325859 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/35/large_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1529287500000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/35/mid_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1529287500000 1 image M.359-1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.tif 1529287500000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/35/preview_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1529287500000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/35/M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4825 width pixels 6433 1529287500000 1 image 2 media image reference media-1679025660 portfolio portfolio-media-1679025660 cc57f4b4-e8ee-35df-9815-442af652516d jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/280/large_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1554768378000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/280/mid_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1554768378000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/280/M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 4788 width pixels 6384 1554768378000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/280/preview_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1554768378000 1 image 3 media image reference media-2631959949 portfolio portfolio-media-2631959949 188fb679-97cb-3fd3-83f7-b99a89538053 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/360/large_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 697 width pixels 1024 1695950337000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/360/mid_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 340 width pixels 499 1695950337000 1 image M.359-1985_1_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1695950337000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/360/preview_M_359_1985_1_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 170 width pixels 250 1695950337000 1 image 4 media image reference media-2760765693 portfolio portfolio-media-2760765693 c6ab4284-9b68-33b4-b370-d2e934881e6b jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/362/large_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 711 width pixels 1024 1695950338000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/362/mid_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 347 width pixels 500 1695950338000 1 image M.359-1985_2_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1695950338000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/51/362/preview_M_359_1985_2_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 173 width pixels 249 1695950338000 1 image 5 media image reference term-110712 adlib-term-110712 62af496a-308b-35b5-9f83-c7a0f36fba19 folding fan history note Colonel Leonard C.
