The double paper leaf shows a hand- coloured scene of a musical gathering near a county village, with bales of straw in the field and several buildings in the background.

Vibrant reserves coloured in a similar fashion to the recto. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.25cm; A small celluloid brisé fan for a young girl, likely 1920's, the cream sticks painted with floral swags and clusters.

The First fan has good strong colour and is fairly sound, two gorge sticks having come away from the ribs, sellotape used as a temporary measure. The celluloid fan has had some decoration adhered to the stick tips which is no longer present. The bone fan has a repair to each guard at the shoulders which need attention, and two gorge sticks are detached at the head. The leaf of the lace fan has most likely been removed for washing and has not been replaced well. Three bone ribs need attention as does one gorge stick and the lower guard. The gauze fan has splits to the leaf. The upper guard is detached and in two parts. The Palmette fan needs attention. The panels need to be re-secured with the linking cotton. The upper guard is broken in the upper section. Two thirds of the lower guard is lacking.
