Excerpt from A Book About Fans: The History of Fans and Fan-Painting The loan exhibition held at South Kensington in 1870 gave a great impulse to the collection and decoration of fans; and since that time many other exhibitions, although less important, have allowed amateurs to admire and to draw instruction from specimens showing the marvel lous skill of expert workmen in this charming art. One of these opportunities was afforded by the New York Society of Decorative Art, which organized a loan collection in the spring of 1882, in order to call attention to the possibilities of fan decoration and mounting, and since that time the Society has continued to encourage Ameri can decorators to rival the delightful work of foreign artists. An interesting exhibition was also held by the Grolier Club in 1891. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
