The fan collection of Pavlovsk has works originating in Western Europe, the Far East and Russia and dating from the early eighteenth century to the early twentieth. The introduction covers such themes as the fan in Russian fashion, changing styles and techniques of making fans, and the folding fan as a surface for paintings and drawings often by well-known artists. Nicely reproduced details of the illustrations show the beauty of the materials and reveal the refined style of painting and drawing used to adorn many of the fans. France was the leader in production of elegant fans, and works of French origin predominate in the Pavlovsk collection. 160 pp, 8 3/8 x 10 3/4 ins., 9 b-&-w illus., 245 color, sewn pb., Rus.
