Children's play, scrolling screen fan, crca 1820-30
Rare octagonal scrolling screen with green background.
Cardboard fixed fan pierced by a window revealing a chromolithographed paper of children's games (La danse, Le colin maillard, La main chaude and Le volant) scrolled by two small wooden wheels. On the reverse side, a silk muslin.
Wooden handle
Condition: stains, tears and restorations.
Max size : 39.5 x 19.5 cm (the window : 7.5 x 8.5 cm)
One wonders if there were covers to protect the paper rolls on the reverse, but as far as we know, none of the other octagonal-screen scroll models have them.
