Fans at the Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York recently digitised its fashion collection. Among the digitised objects are 700 fans from the 18th century to the 1920s. This collection is now accessible on the Internet: MCNY fan collection. The fans are well photographed and a good description is enclosed when clicking on the photo. A pleasure to look at! And all photos come with the "pin it" icon for those who make their own collection on Pinterest.

One of my favourites of the Museum: Advertising fan for the restaurant and tea room "Pré Catalan" in Paris. (copyright MCNY)
