"Putnam Fadeless Dyes-Tints."

A late 1920s paper advertising fan with a wooden handle. The elaborate Art Nouveau design of the fan features a green nymph in flowing robes who's using Putnam Fadeless Dyes and Tints to paint colors onto the wings of a quizzical-looking butterfly. Two other leafy green creatures kneel on either side as they hold bowls of Putnam products. Purple gnarly tree trunks and branches along with green leaves frame the fantastical scene.

See also the advertising copy on the back of the fan.

A hand-tinted reward of merit printed by Jos. Laing & Co. According to Patricia Fenn and Alfrd P. Malpa's book Rewards of Merit (1994), p. 209, Joseph Laing was in the printing business from about 1850 to 1870.

The only handwriting on this reward of merit that I've been able to decipher is "Wiliam," the first name of the teacher.
