About the Item

Presented is a Statue of Liberty patriotic printed paddle fan from the early 20th century. At center, the Statue of Liberty stands tall, her shining torch held above her head. On either side of the statue are large, waving 48-star American flags. At top center, a bald eagle carrying the American shield flies above a rising sun on the water and below an unfurling yellow banner, emblazoned with the word “LIBERTY.” The design is completed with a Navy sailor at left and an Army infantryman at right. The fan is a beautifully designed composition of American patriotic symbols, and is attached to its original wooden stick. From the beginning of the 19th Century, fans commemorated national events, such as centennials, statehoods, inaugurations, or the birthdays of public figures. Americans who had imported European fans from the late 1600s to the mid-1800s, joined the fan-making fray soon after the Civil War and made-in-America fans began to acquire a following by 1867. Concurrently, advances in 19th Century printing technology brought the elaborately-designed, gilded, and illustrated fans within reach of the masses. Lithographed and printed fans imitated hand-drawn and hand-painted versions of earlier eras. Advertising fans also became popular promotional gimmicks that peaked at the turn of the century. These fans remained popular until the 1940s. CONDITION: Very good condition overall. Paddle board fan, attached to original wooden stick. Printed in color on a stiff paper board. A slight crease in the center, but no tears. Overall light toning to paper, small rust stains at staples. Stamped in the lower right “Mastai Collection” in red ink. The verso is stamped with red ink “Mastai Collection” stamp and the handwritten collection number “No. 29R” in blue ballpoint ink. Presented on the original wooden stick. Archivally framed in a custom black wooden frame with a black acid-free mat and UV glass. Framed Dimensions: 21 3/8" H x 16 1/8" W x 1 3/8" D. Accompanied by our company's letter of authenticity.
