The most effective mix of promotional display and practical usage featuring vintage graphics occurred in the deployment of paper advertising fans, as current in the years between 1920 and 1955. When agitating the air to produce a cooling breeze, that tool drew attention to its graphic presence with a certain urgency. Fortunately the quality of many of the designs was remarkable and a few even managed to incorporate the curved shape into the content. In Paris there is a museum, La Musee de l'Eventail at 2 blvd. Strasbourg,75010 displaying these objects. Their website address is: http://www.annehoguet.com/musee.htm
