1985.R.490, Folding fan with a scene of a visit to the wetnurse, c. 1780


GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Wendy and Emery Reves's fan collection was one of their most distinguished areas of collecting and was of particular interest to Wendy Reves. She collected nearly 110 examples dating from the early 18th to the early 20th century. The more than 30 fans now in the Dallas Museum of Art's collection represent the core of her 18th-century holdings. Throughout the 18th century, scenes of daily life were extremely popular as fan motifs. The Reves Collection contains several fine examples of this genre, including this fan.
