The Wall Pocket | |||||||
This
page is being used to collecxt information about the
history of the paperfolding design I call the Wall
Pocket. 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. This is a very simple design developed from the Newspaper Hat or the Pyramidal Hat. ********** 1876 As far as I know this design first occurs as a survival in the Cahier de Adele Tissot, which can be dated to 1876. ********** 1891 As 'Bandtasche' (Wall Pocket) in 'Illustriertes Spielbuch fur Kinder' by Ida Bloch was published by Otto Spamer in Leipzig in 1891. ********** 1892 The same design occurs as 'Petit vide-poches' (Small Empty Pockets) in 'Le Travail Manuel a L'ecole Primaire' by Jully & Rocheron, which was published by Librairie Classique Eugene Belin in Paris in 1892. ********** 1904 It also occurs as 'Rinconera' (Corner), in Guia Practica del Trabajo Manual Educativo' by Ezequiel Solana, which was published by Editorial Magisterio Espaņol in Madrid in 1904. The wording says 'hung on a ring on the wall it can be used at school to hold clarions, blackboards and other small objects.' It may, perhaps, be called a Corner because that is where it would be hung to best advantage. ********** |
