Note
Published by Chambrelent, Eventailliste, Paris, this exuberant fan shows a dandy wearing a red costume and wide-brim feather hat, clasping the Richarpailloud Cognac House coat-of-arms. The fan is adapted from a poster by Jean d'Ylen (1866-1938) printed by Vercasson, Paris, which shows the figure full-length. Such fans would have been mass-produced and given away in the hope of attracting new customers.
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.
