Advertising fan of Pippermint drink

By the handles, the fan is circulary opened to produce a circular shaped parchment on the handle, convinient for swatting. On one front side we see an image of a huge bottle of Pippermint, surrounded by a crowd of people kneeling and chanting: Un Get! Un Get! The costumes of the people show that they are leaders of different countries and continents: a Turk – in a Turkish fez, a Russian – in a military uniform and red trousers, an American – in striped trousers and a cylinder, a Chinese – in a characteristic headdress and many other people. In this way the advert speaks about the popularity of the drink all over the world. At the top is the manufacturer`s seal: “Chambrellent Eventailist. Paris”. On the second front plate – the image of an elegant lady in a cafe, with a drink in her hand. Inscription: “Demand un Pippermint!”. Inscription at the top: “Brevete S.G.D.G. France & Etranger”.
