El Libro de Oro de Los Niños, 1943 | |||||||
The six volumes of 'El Libro de Oro de Los Niños' (The Golden Book of Children) were published by U.T.E.H.A in Buenos Aires in 1943. Each volume contained a chapter on 'Las papirolas: El trabajo manual' (Paperfolds: Handwork) which contained stories built around designs by Vicente Solórzano Sagredo. I do not have complete information about these works. Subsequent editions were published as follows: 2nd Edition: Buenos Aires: U.T.E.H.A. 1946 3rd Edition: Mexico, D. F. : Acropolis Editorial. 1949 4th Edition: Mexico: Acropolis - U.T.E.H.A. 1951 5th Edition: Mexico: U.T.E.H.A. 1957. *** In the 1st to 4th editions the arrangement of the material between the 6 volumes was: Vol. 1 - Diagrams for the Catamaran. Vol.2 - Diagrams for the Frog. Vol. 3 - Diagrams for the Rooster. Vol. 4 - Diagrams for the Lobster. Vol. 5 - Not known. Vol. 6 - Diagrams for the Peacock. *** In the 5th edition the arrangement of the (same) material was: Vol. 1 - Diagrams for the Peacock. Vol. 2 - Not known. Vol. 3 - Diagrams for the Lobster. Vol. 4 - Diagrams for the Rooster. Vol. 5 - Diagrams for the Catamaran. Vol. 6 - Diagrams for the Frog. *** Other designs were pictured in some of the illustrations for the stories but their folding sequences were not diagrammed or explained.
