Thank you. ********** In Japan (and in works by Japanese authors) 1888 The Fold and Slit Trellis is used as a component of a larger design in Part One of 'Shukou yuugi' by Makoto Osakabe, which was published in 1888.
********** In Western Europe and the Americas 1876 As far as I know this design first appeared in 'Des Kindes Erste Beschaftigungsbuch' by E Barth and W Niederley, which was first published in Bielefeld and Leipzig, and the foreword of which is dated October 1876.
*********** The Fold and Slit Trellis also appears: 1891 In 'Pleasant Work for Busy Fingers' by Maggie Browne, which was published by Cassell and Company in London in 1891. This book is an English version of 'Des Kindes Erste Beschaftigungsbuch' enhanced by the addition of a few extra designs. ********** 1894 In 'La Nature' Issue 1093 of 12th May 1894 in an article by 'Dr Z...' headed 'Recreations scientifiques' and subheaded 'Papier decoupe formant un filet'.
********** 1907 In issue 1503 of 'The Boy's Own Paper' of 2nd November 1907, which suggests it may be 'used as an ornament for the overmantle.'
********** 1920 In 'Paper Magic' by Will Blyth, which was first published by C Arthur Pearson in London in 1920.
*********** 1962 As 'The Magic Stretching Paper' in 'Kirigami: The Creative Art of Paper Cutting' by Florence Temko, which was published by Platt and Munk in New York in 1962.
