Christopher Lennox Boyd, allocated to the Museum by H.M. Government in lieu of inheritance tax in 2015. The collection of over 600 fans ranges in date from the 18th to the 20th centuries and in type from bejewelled and hand-painted court and wedding fans, to printed mass-produced advertising fans, aide-memoire fans, mourning fans and children’s fans. This fan would have been particularly effective during evening events, when the sequins would have glittered to dazzling effect in candlelight, gaslight or moonlight. It may have been used at the theatre where rope-dancers performed alongside ladder-dancers, tumblers, strong men, and musicians. Fans of this kind were fashionable during the last decade of the 18th century, and were revived a century later, often using a heavier gauze. reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-120306 adlib-term-120306 4c444129-3d8c-340f-bfbd-b4d82e5cbd17 literal France France country France reference term-101184 adlib-term-101184 0573aca2-0772-3972-a513-64db69aedc90 sequins reference term-110712 adlib-term-110712 62af496a-308b-35b5-9f83-c7a0f36fba19 folding fan history note The Lennox Boyd Collection.
