Origami Compendium No 1 by Robert Harbin, 1970 | |||||||
'Origami
Compendium No 1' was sold as a folder containing a pack
of Maxwell's origami paper and a booklet of folding
instructions, which were written and illustrated by
Robert Harbin. The work is undated but each of the pages
of diagrams is marked with a copyright date of 1970 so
that it cannot be before that date. The work was
advertised on the back cover of the second edition of
Harbin's 'Paper Magic' which was published in 1971 and so
must have been published before or at the same time as
that book. It seems fair to me to assign it to 1970
pending further, possibly more dertailed, information. My
thanks to Michel Grand for drawing this to my attention. My grateful thanks to Nick Robinson for letting me see a copy of this work. ********** ********** ********** ********** Analysis Unnattributed (or Misattributed) Designs Baby's Cot - The Cradle ********** Coloured Salt Cellar / Colour Changer - The Salt Cellar Colour-change versions of these traditional designs
