PAIR OF TOPOGRAPHICAL FANS WITH PAPER LIKE PARCHEMIN SCREENS, WATERCOLOUR PAINTED. METAL FRAME, GILT WOOD HANDLE. THE FIRST REPRESENTS THE LOURDES' LAKE SURROUNDED BY LOTO FLOWERS; THE SECOND, THE CASTLE WITH DAISIES. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTICE THAT LOURDES IS HERE DEPICTED FOR ITS TURISTIC SIGHTS AND NOT AS RELIGIOUS PLACE, SURELY NOT YET SO ADVERTISED AT THAT TIME. 1880 CA. CM. 18x44 |
