Fanfare.(Brief article)
Fans are the focus of two current displays in Britain, one in the Manuscripts Room at Waddeson Manor near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire until October 29, and the other at the Wallace Collection in London, from October 18 until November 14.

Fans were designed as a practical accessory used by rich and poor alike to cool themselves during hot weather. For the wealthy they were made from expensive materials and were sometimes decorated with precious stones. A complex language developed around the use of fans: for example, carrying one in the right hand in front of a lady's face meant "follow me." Placing the fan on the left ear sent the message "I want to get rid of you," and twirling it in the left hand signified "we are being watched."
