MAKING LUXURY IN MINIATURE : L’éventail à système, Creativity and Innovation in Fan Making at the end of 18th century. By Georgina Letourmy-Bordier, PhD Art History, fan expert. System Fans are emblematic of the innovative spirit of fan-makers, and they are testimony of the ingenuity and "savoir-faire" of the craftsmen in Europe. These miniature curiosities, mechanical or scientific, were very fashionable at the end of the 18th century. Animations, thermometers, perfume tubes or beauty kits expertly incorporated into the arms of the fans are the ultimate examples of refinement and luxury.  References and further readings: - L'éventail... de Joséphine à Eugénie, Boulogne-Billancourt, éd.
