Please contact me if you know any of this information is
incorrect or if you have any other information that
should be added. Thank you. 1662 As far as I know the Triple Blintz Basic Form itself first appears as a napkin fold, 'Serviette pliee en form de Croix du Sainct Esprit', in 'L'Escole parfaite des officiers de bouche' which was published by J Ribou in Paris in 1662. The Cross also appears as a serviette fold in this book. ********** 1682 Both the Triple Blintz Basic Form and the Cross also appear in 'A Perfect School of Instructions for the Officers of the Mouth' by Giles Rose, which was published by R Bentley and M Magnes in London in 1682. ********** The Jacket / the Trousers - 1859 onwards
********** The Muff - 1859 onwards
********** The Steamship - 1863 onwards ********** The Cross Star - 1863 onwards ********** The Scent Bottle - 1873 onwards ********** The Short Sleeved Shirt - 1873 onwards ********** The Inkwell - 1873 onwards ********** The Hat / Shirt - 1873 onwards ********** The Pair of Boots - 1873 onwards
********** Knickerbockers - 1880 There is mention of this design, which is made by folding the Jacket in half, in 'The Kindergarten Principle' by Mary J Lyschinska, which was published in London in 1880 by Wm Isbister Ltd, but unfortunately no illustration is provided. ********** The Small Vase - 1882 This design appears, as 'The Vase', in part two of 'The Kindergarten Guide' by Maria Kraus Boelte and John Kraus, which was probably first published by E. Steiger and Company in New York in 1882. ********** The Footstool and the Footstall Chair - 1948 In 'The Art of Chinese Paper folding for Young and Old' by Maying Soong, which was published by Harcourt Brace and Company of New York in 1948, the Cross is developed into a simple Footstall and Chair.
