| 'Theoretisches
und praktisches Handbuch der Fröbelschen
Erziehungslehre' by Bertha von Marentholtz-Bülow was
published in two parts by George H Wigand in Kassel. Part
1, 'Die Theorie der Fröbelschen Erziehungslehre', was
published in 1886 and part 2, 'Die Praxis der
Fröbelschen Erziehungslehrein', was published in 1887. A full copy of part 1, 'Die Theorie' can be accessed online here. A full copy of part 2, 'Die Praxis' can be accessed online here. The full text of the chapter on 'Der Falten' is given at the foot of this page. These books are in German and set in Fractur. I do not speak German and Google Lens does not transcribe or translate Fractur well. Consequently, it is probable that there will be errors and omissions on this page. If anyone can supply corrections or further information to me I will be most grateful. ********** Part 1 'Die Theorie' There are no illustrations in this volume. Although mention is made of the occupation of paperfolding on several occasions, all these mentions are very general and give no specific information about individual designs. ********** Part 2 'Die Praxis' This volume is heavily illustrated, with many plates, some in colour, at the end of the book. There are chapters on 'Das Falten' (paperfolding), 'Das Flechten' (weaving), 'Das Verichnuren' (interlinking) and 'Das Auschneiden' (cutting out), all of which contain an element of paperfolding.
