[QUOTE="Luis, post: 402790, member: 4602"]Hello, I am sorry I did not respond before, but I had to re-take all pictures again and I am uploading them again in this reply. This time I used my iPhone and the photos came crispier. It is really amazing, but as I was retouching them, I managed to identify the artist's signature on both sides (please see some of the close-ups); looks like the artist name was M. Sanchez; it is a bit blurry but you can read M Sanchez in one of the sides, even looking at the fan it is difficult to notice. Thanks to you all for your valuable input; it is really great! I am actually based in Mexico (we are preparing for a big day tomorrow, which is the celebration of our Independence from Spain! perhaps this was a bit of synchronicity as I did not expect to find this treasure). There is a very creepy character in one side of the fans pointed out by Bronwen, I do not know the meaning, but at first sight it reminded me someone from the Spanish Inquisition or perhaps a slave(?). I have managed to take a better picture of the hammock and you can see that it is a tropical scene, so Any Jewelry might be right on her point about Caribbean influence. The interesting part is that the fan seems to have been made in Madrid, so perhaps the artist had some Mexican influence (?). Again thanks a lot for your valuable input Luis[ATTACH=full]140279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140280[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140282[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140283[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140291[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
