Through expertly restored photographs from the Lafayette Archive of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the beautifully preserved fans from The Fan Museum, Greenwich, this book presents a parallel history of fans from Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Year of 1897 to interbellum court portraits of 1925.
From the luxurious medieval languor of Lady Ashburton, photographed as Tennyson’s Enid and “clothed…in apparel like the day” for the Devonshire House Ball of 1897, to the understated elegance of Miss Mary Latta’s fashionable attire for presentation at court in 1923, the Lafayette archive records the transformation of fashion from the rigid corsetry of Queen Victoria’s epoch to the fluid dropped waists of the 1920s flapper.
Thanks to the expertise of these two museums in their respective fields it is as if both the Lafayette negative archive and the fans have truly come to life, the beauty of each object recalling the opulence and taste of this brief period of historic and social transformation. 115 pages. Fully illustrated.
Available by mail order or in person from The Fan Museum.
