Thank you. ********** 1827 As far as I know this design first appears in 'Manuel Complet des Jeux de Société' by Elisabeth Celnart, which was published by La Librairie Encyclopedique de Roret in Paris in 1827, as a derivative design of the Cocotte made by folding the legs forwards towards the head. See final paragraph below.
********** 1858 The design also appears in this illustration by Anais Toudouze in the 1858 edition of 'Journal des Enfants et Conseiller des Enfants'.
********** The same illustration was published in the Swedish fashion magazine 'Nyaste journal för damer' in the same year. ********** |
