History of the Hand Fan
Fans have been in existence since earliest civilised time. It is highly probable that fans originated from the spontaneous action of ordinary people who used a large leaf or some other suitable object to cool themselves. Ancient illustrations found in Egyptian temples reveal that the fan held a prominent place in noble society as early as the XVIII Dynasty in sixteenth century BC. The Greeks, Etruscans and Romans all used fans for cooling and ceremonial purposes.
