Thank you. ********** There are several interesting (and unfolding) pamphlets dating from between 1780 and 1787, the years of the Pattriottentijd rebellion in the Netherlands, held in the Collectie Nederland and the Dutch Nationaal Archief, which were produced as propaganda for the Patriotic cause.
********** There are several other types of Zig-Zag Fold-Ins created as propaganda as well.
********** The most famous type of folding propaganda is The Fifth Pig, the earliest known example of which dates from the time of the First World War.
********** The images below are of both sides of a puzzle postcard, produced as propaganda but also advertising a hotel, dating from the Second World War. The object of the puzzle is to imprison two of the three 'Public Enemies' pictured on the puzzle by folding it into a square.
