Fans have, for too long, been the "Cinderellas" of the decorative arts. Now, thanks to organizations like the Fan Circle International and The Fan Museum, fans are emerging as important social and historical records, and none more so than those painted in the reign of Louis XIV. The King himself saw them as a means of promoting his "gloire" and on occasion wrote critical comments in his own hand on their content. This extensively researched and beautifully illustrated volume, published to coincide with the opening of the eponymous exhibition at The Fan Museum, London in June 2003, presents over 40 fans and fan leaves dating from the reign of Louis XIV. These fans and fan leaves are presented within six thematic chapters which afford a unique insight into the social, cultural and political life of the Court of Louis XIV, much of it centred on the Gardens of Versailles, and the role played by the fans in presenting and promoting all aspects of Louis' reign. Pamela Cowan has identified many of the sources of the designs and motifs of these fans, and shows how the design and decoration of these fans was integrally linked wider stylistic developments within the decorative arts.
