Stunning photos! The one on the dogs, where the focus fades away is really blowing me away. Wow!

What lovely pictures, that looks like an interesting museum to visit, I hadn't heard of it before. Too bad I rarely get down to London.

Another comment -- the pug faced dogs are really very similar (if not the same) to a design seen in Victorian ornaments and porcelain, interesting isn't it. :0)

Those are awesome fans! I especially love the top one, where the ladies' legs kick out! Ingenious! Thanks for posting these.

I've never heard of a fan museum - they are beautiful though! Definitely worth showcasing.

They're all beautiful, but I think the last one is my favorite. :lovely: Great work on the details!
