Fans Book Description
This book traces the history of fans from biblical times to the present day. Originating as an everyday functional object, the fan rapidly acquired ceremonial and social significance, becoming the utilitarian sceptre of kings, the subject of conversation for bluestockings of the seventeenth century, the toy of frivolous ladies, the vehicle of revolutionary messages, the sentimental possession of the Victorians, the mirror of the Belle Ipoque, and an advertising gimmick. Above all, fans are hand-crafted objects and therefore no two are identical, which makes recording and classifiying them an absorbing and fascinating historical adventure.
Helene Alexander has contributed to Fans as an author.
Hilhne Alexander FRSA has collected fans for over thirty years. In 1991 she founded The Fan Museum and is currently President of The Fan Museum Trust.
