This fan is an example of how appearances can be deceptive. Although the sky is now red, it was originally white. The radical change in colour is due to corrosion of the lead component in the white paint.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.referenceterm-106400adlib-term-1064003e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d818th Centuryreferencemedia-4114798089portfolio-media-4114798089cc7a938c-c850-3665-8f77-b0639562fcbajpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/655/479/large_M_127_2015_1_201911_mfj22_dc1.jpg1heightpixels768widthpixels102415608522610001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/655/479/mid_M_127_2015_1_201911_mfj22_dc1.jpg1heightpixels375widthpixels50015608522610001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/655/479/M_127_2015_1_201911_mfj22_dc1.jpg1heightpixels3000widthpixels400015608522610001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/655/479/preview_M_127_2015_1_201911_mfj22_dc1.jpg1heightpixels188widthpixels25015608522610001image0media
