Rhead, G. Woolliscroft (George Woolliscroft)
Fans
[165] ‘Mr. A. W. Tuer, in a list of Bartolozzi’s works (page 116),
catalogues eighteen fan-mounts, including the one published by A.
Poggi in 1780, but not the one published by Poggi in 1782. Only four,
so far as he knows, were completed as fans, including the 1780 Poggi.
The coppers on which the engravings were made were of large size, so
as to admit of the after addition of the form of the fan, and its
ornamentation. Some of the plates were afterwards cut down, lettered,
and issued as separate prints.’ (Letter of Mr. Lionel Cust to Lady
Charlotte Schreiber, Schreiber MSS., British Museum.)

Exhibition of Fans at Drapers’ Hall_, 1890.
[170] There is no reason why either sex should claim a monopoly of fan
painting.

[172] These details are most kindly supplied by the Private Secretary,
the Hon. A. Nelson Hood, who also photographed the fan for this work.
[173] The above facts are taken from an article in the _Irish Rosary_
for June 1898.

[175] The Etruscan sceptre in the gold ornament room, British Museum,
has the top formed like a flower, the petals of beaten gold, the inner
core a large emerald.
