The Wonderful Living Fan
A fan manufacturer, desiring to sell to the King of France, Louis XV, a marvelous fan which he has just completed, has requested the chamberlain to do him the honor of examining it. The latter comes in a sedan chair upon the terrace of the palace at Versailles, followed by numerous servants, who bear upon their shoulders an enormous case containing the marvel. The chamberlain sits comfortably in an armchair while the following scenes are enacted before his surprised and delighted eyes. The lid comes open of its own accord, revealing an enormous fan. The seven branches of which it is composed gradually unfold. The fan once opened occupies the entire width of the scene. The middle of each one of the branches becomes animated and in place of the painting which adorned it there may be seen seven pretty women of the Court in gala attire. The mounting of the fan disappears slowly and the seven women alone remain visible, without any apparent support, in the position which would be held by the branches of a half-star having the centre of which formed of a hemisphere. Il is before this human fan, which undergoes various transformations, that there is danced by the lords and ladies of the Court an exquisite minuet. Dancers and fan fade away to give place to a fascinating animated fountain, of which seven women in artistic and dainty positions form the principal ground-work. The one in the centre holds an amphora upon her shoulder, from which bursts forth a jet of water. The lovely vision comes to an end; all disappears. The astonished chamberlain remains before the open fan, which appears as it did at first. The fan folds itself, and once in the box the lid comes down of its own accord. The chamberlain approaches to examine it, but it suddenly opens with a crash and falls upon him, hitting him upon his shoulders.
