Antique Electric Fan Illustration - Early 1900s Design & Engineering #1484933 (License: Personal Use)

This sepia-toned line drawing depicts a classic tabletop electric fan from the early 1900s, featuring a robust cast-iron base, an exposed induction motor, a four-blade propeller enclosed in a circular wire guard, and a coiled fabric-covered power cord ending in a two-prong plug. The illustration emphasizes industrial design elements like rivets, tension springs, and visible wiring, capturing the era’s transition from manual to electric cooling solutions. The brand plaque on the hub suggests a manufacturer such as Westinghouse or Emerson, common in that period.
