A friend of Mine and I were discussing whether or not the folding fan is
"period" or not.  The sources I have found say that the folding fan was
introduced to Europe in the Mid 1500's.  Any help?
Thanks,

I've read that Elizabeth I had quite a number of fans in her wardrobe, and
I believe there are portraits of her holding one.  I'd have to look at the
pictures I have to get the exact painting for you, but I know I've seen
her holding a white folding fan.

Greetings!
     You might want to take a look at Volume 3 of Herbert Norris's 
Costume and Fashion series.  I just got my hands on it yesterday :) 
and noticed a section dealing with fans.  (This was in part II of 
Volume III, which is bound separately in the series at this library). 
It's out of print so try a university or public library.

I was wandering around the Museum's links page and found this Fan
Museum. How cool is that?
