They can keep you cool in hot weather, serve in religious ritual, display sophistication and wealth, or function as an advertising medium. Perhaps the most enduring role of the handheld fan is as the symbol of wealth or royalty, which stretches as far back as the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Babylon and continues even to this day. In western culture, fans were commonly associated with the sophistication of the upper classes. Those who aspired to high status could see fans in use in fashion magazines, such as Peterson’s Monthly Magazine here from 1875, which depicts elegant women extravagantly dressed in the height of fashion of that era. Even children’s dolls, paper and porcelain alike, are often shown grasping fans.Condition report : Most of lot in good condition. Four of them have damages and are in poor shape.Louis J.
