Cust, Lionel.  "Catalogue of the Collection of Fans and Fan-Leaves
presented to the trustees of the British Museum by the Lady Charlotte
Schrieber"

London, Longmans & Co.: 1893.

The noted collector, Lady Charlotte Schrieber, had presented her
collection of antique fans to the British Museum in 1891, and had
catalogued the collection in two massive, illustrated folio volumes which,
even at the time, were quite expensive (and are today quite scarce and
several magnitude above "quite expensive" in price). This volume is an
un-illustrated summary of that information, with more concise entries.
Uncommon.

gilt spine title. Ex-library with small spine number, 19th century
