Hatch, Match and Desptach (Part II)

Hatch, Match & Despatch (Part II) comprises an intriguing selection of fans which commemorate Births, Marriages and Deaths. Covering a period of over 300 years – from the seventeenth century onwards – the exhibition reveals how fans recorded not only joyous occasions of national significance such as Royal births and weddings but those of a darker, melancholic nature, too. Hatch, Match& Despatch (Part II) celebrates the theatricality of love, life & death – the foundations upon which all human experience is built.
