The Language of Victorian Fans: Victorian Flirting
My grandmother is a docent at a historical society and was the curator for an exhibit "Flirtatious Fans." In her research she shared with me the following Victorian fan language:
The fan placed near the heart: You have won my love.
Half-opened fan pressed to the lips: You may kiss me.
Hiding the eyes behind an open fan: I love you.
Opening and closing the fan several times: You are cruel.
Fanning slowly: I am married.
Fanning quickly: I am engaged.
Twirling the fan in the left hand: You are being watched.
