DuBarry,

[ca. 1930].
Description
The fan is a perfectly fitting device to promote beauty products. In this case, the double-sided eight-panel fan has each blade showing the correct makeup to use for each woman’s hair color. Using these suggestions, women may aspire to the spectacular beauty of Lady DuBarry (1743–1793) but hopefully won’t be guillotined as she was. This is another example of using a celebrity for aspirational purposes.
