Description
This item is a modern reproduction of a 1901 paper fan greeting card, marketed under the series title Turn of the Century Fan Greetings. The die-cut cardstock fan features a color illustration of a Victorian winter scene depicting two children, a girl in a red coat and a boy in a green coat, building a large snowman. The snowman is depicted holding a green umbrella, with a small brown dog sitting at the base of the figure. The illustration is embellished with textured glitter to represent falling and accumulated snow. The fan is mounted on a cream-colored plastic handle. It is presented on a cream backing card and includes an informational insert featuring a poem titled The Snowman by J. S. Westerly. The insert identifies the piece as being reproduced from a personal antique paper collection in the U.S.A. The item includes a matching envelope and is housed in its original clear plastic packaging.
