A Conversation Fan in similar vein to the previous lot, and surely by

A Conversation Fan in similar vein to the previous lot, and surely by the same hand, this time dated 1897, the monture of brown wood (marked by the vendor as walnut) with chamfered guards. The bottom border names Shakespeare, Shelley, Tennison, Browning and Keats, amongst others. The children again feature in the drawings. The printed verses and quotes are in a much smaller script. On the verso, a quote of "Fair, Kind and True", another "Agile and Fragile" and one drawing is that of a folded fan. Again, a lot to see. Guard length approx. 12.5 cm or 32cm

Sold for £400
Estimated at £180 - £250


 

. good, with slight staining to the left and some even lighter on the verso.
