Title: Paris Exposition Fan
Description: A handheld fan made of wood and cloth. This fan depicts the event it was made to commemorate — the 1878 Exposition Universelle held in Paris, France. The fan belonged to Elizabeth Smith (Jacques) Upham (1815-1888) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Elizabeth had moved to Milwaukee in 1838 with her husband, attorney Don Alonzo Joshua Upham. Mrs. Upham probably did not attend the Exposition in Paris, and this fan may have been a gift to her.
