Absolutely spectacular fan is the only one known. Hand painted on paper it is fragile, hence the rarity. However it is in beautiful condition. With graphics worthy of Harvard's starting eleven it features a masterful union suited game in progress. Circa 1893. At the top are the flags of the big name schools of the day from Harvard to Yale to Princeton. Beautifully shadow boxed framed, this is one for the ages. Overall EX. Frame is 21x12", fan is about 17" in length when fully opened.
