Cartoon in La Campana Catalana by Apeles Mestres, 1908
 
The last ever issue of the Catalan satirical magazine 'La Campana Catalana', published in Barcelona on 29th April 1908, contains a cartoon by Apeles Mestres which pictures a variety of paperfolding designs.

This cartoon contains illustrations of:

The Cocotte / Pajarita in various guises

The one on the left has a colour-change, possibly indicating that it has been folded from a windmill base.

The one on the right has pockets, beneath the head, indicating it has been folded from a triply blintzed square.
