Such historicising scenes were made popular through novels, plays, operas and poems. A metal repair is visible on the front guard. This fan forms part of the collection of the Hon. 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. reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-110712 adlib-term-110712 62af496a-308b-35b5-9f83-c7a0f36fba19 folding fan history note Lennox Boyd Estate.
