Four Cardboard Fixed Screens, probably 1920's, Spanish, printed in bold colours, each with different fruits and a different feature, including a lady holding a large folding ballon fan, another with tall hair comb and flower behind her ear, one presented as from the 18th century, with feathers, and one holding a champagne glass and sporting an elaborate headdress. All four advertise the ''pastes Alementicies I Forn de Pa de Josepha Corominas'' and carry a mark of most likely the printer, in Barcelona. Together with A Large Modern Folding Fan marked as # 2 of an issue of 50. The paper fan, mounted à l'Anglaise on marron dyed wood sticks, shows three ladies from different centuries, each holding a fan that relates to the Age. A Chinese style red stamp features to the top left of the leaf. The screens are each 12 inches or 30.5cm, the fan guard is 11.75 inches or 30cm (5). All in good order.
Three Art Deco Fans, or earlier, the first of a single shaped cotton leaf printed with red roses, mounted on wood sticks painted in white. Guard length 8.25 inches or 21cm. The second fan, of fontange form, with double paper leaf printed by Chambrelent, Paris, shows a lady in stylised costume, 20's headdress and large pink ostrich feather fan, with wings outspread behind, giving the appearance of a butterfly. Along the bottom edge of the leaf, the fan states ''Lumineux Radian a Bbe S.G.D.G, 23 B'd des Italiens Paris'', possibly referring to the patent but a little unclear. Mounted on plain wood sticks, the beige verso has a large blank cartouche, presumably meant for advertising, surrounded by stylised designs. Guard length 7.5 inches or 19cm. The final fan, smaller, and again of printed paper in fontange form, mounted on basic wood sticks, depicts a lady amongst exotic flowers and leaves in Deco style, wearing a white dress, tall hair comb and carrying a matching pink fan. The cream verso advertises ''Objets d'Art, A Jeanne D'Arc, Horlogerie, Joallerie and Orfererie (a Goldsmith's shop) in Sète, in the South of France. Guard length 4.75 inches or 11.5 cm, overall height 7 inches or 18cm. The first fan is in good order, slight creasing at the top edge. Fan two is rubbed on folds and creased along the top as is fan three.

After the death of his father, Robert, a wealthy merchant and director of the Bank of England, ' Thornton inherited the Clapham estate and about £100,000, which he increased greatly in the Russian trade. A large part of Thornton's income was devoted to the encouragement of a gospel ministry in various parts of the world' (ODNB); these business interests would seem to explain his unusual route to Italy via Prussia. His account is characterised by a grand tourist's eye for art and architecture, and fair-minded descriptions of people and places visited, the latter including Memel (modern Klaipeda, in Lithuania), Königsberg (Kaliningrad), and various cities in what is now Poland, including Danzig (Gdansk) and Köslin (Koszalin). Thornton's son Henry (1760-1815) became a influental banker and an important figure in the Clapham Sect, while his daughter Jane married Alexander Leslie-Melville, 7th Earl of Leven (1749-1820); his great-great-grandson was E. M. Forster.
