About

The Fan Museum is the only museum in the UK devoted to the history of fans and is home to a diverse collection of fans from around the world, dating from the 12th century to the present day.

George Sheringham RDI (1884-1937), painter, illustrator and theatre designer, concentrated much of his artistic energy on painting fan leaves for a short period early in his career, before and during the First World War. Delivered by The Fan Museum’s Curatorial Consultant Mary Kitson, this talk will focus on some of those works and their context in Sheringham’s wider career.
