That type of fan is called a Jenny Lind. If you google Jenny Lind fan, there all sorts of images and information. Basically, instead of having a whole fan leaf spread across the sticks, each sticks has it's own "feather-type shape attached separately". A fine thead is attached to the sticks to ensure that it opens to an approximate semi-circle and stops each stick flopping all over the place.
