. The first fan has damage to the leaf and possibly the right side shortened, crude restoration to split folds seen from the verso. The second example is in good general order. Fan 3 has extensive splitting to the leaf making it difficult to view the scene. The final fan has some damage to the leaf, the upper guard has broken, but the section is present, both still attached to leaf and rivet, and the lower guard has broken off at a similar point and lacks approx. 2.5 m of a plain lower section.
