| Jeux de pliages by Ferdinand Krch / Cuori / Coeur, 1933 | |||||||
| 'Jeux
de pliages' by Ferdinand Krch was published by Flammarion
in Paris in 1933. An Italian edition was issued, also in
1933, under the name 'Ferdinando Cuori', presumably
because this name sounds more Italian. All the later
French editions (1940, 1941, 07-1949, 06-1952, 1956,
1971, 1985 and 2004) were published under the name
'Ferdinand Coeur' (presumably for a similar reason). According to Wikipedia, Ferdinand Krch (1881 - 1973) was a Czech pedagogue and children's author. ********** Michel Grand has kindly provided the following bibliographic information: The contents of all the editions issued between 1933 and June 1952 were identical. For the 1956 edition: The introduction text and "Avion (fait d'une flèche)" are missing. The order of the model is slightly different. For the 1971 & 1985 edition: No introduction text and "Avion (fait d'une flèche)", "Hirondelle avion" & "Avion-libellule" are missing. All the diagrams have been redrawn and the book has a square shape. For the 2004 edition: The original introduction is back and the content is the same as the 1956 edition. ********** A full copy of the June 1952 French edition is included at the bottom of this page. ********** Analysis Fleche - The Paper Dart
