England Since The Conquest: A Printed Fan, the double paper leaf published by J.Cock and J.P.Crowther in 1793, in this instance most unusually mounted on a bone telescopic monture. The leaf, by S.J. Neele, 352 Strand (London), records England through the ages, from the 11th to the 18th century, printed with all manner of facts, intended, as recorded on the top left border, to educate. "This Historical page with useful lefsons (sic) fraught, Awakes the mind to every serious thought". This version, unlike many, is decorated with a colourful floral border and highlighted in gold. The recto starts with William the Conqueror and the verso finishes with George III, and the words "VIVE LE ROI".
Guard length extended 11 inches or 28cm. Closed down, 8.5 inches or 21.5cm
Provenance: previously in the collection of Baron Oranmore and Browne, the great-grandson of Lady Charlotte Schreiber. Exhibited at Fan Makers' Hall in 1980, catalogue No.31. See The Schreiber Collection unmounted leaf 72, English fans 132 and 133.
Purchased from Christie's SK in December 2001

Sold for £500
Estimated at £500 - £1,000


 

. In good order, telescopic action works smoothly, gold and colour bright. Some brown rust marks here and there on the leaf.
