Hand fan from the Vichy city Casino in paper and wood.

This fan was developed by the fan maker ESPI known for these advertising fans at the beginning of the 20th century.

The town of Vichy became an important spa in the second half of the 19th century. The first Vichy Casino was the Grand Casino de Vichy, built under the Second Empire and designed by the architect Charles Badger, who carried out the work completed in 1858. The casino opened on July 2, 1865. At the beginning of the 20th century, the casino was enlarged. An Art Nouveau style theater designed by architects Charles Le Coeur and Lucien Woog was added to the existing building. As modern as the Paris Opera in terms of machinery, the theater presents a stage opening 12 meters by 15 metes.
