Paper Folding and Modelling by Aart van Breda, 1965
 
'Paper Folding and Modelling' by Aart van Breda was published by Faber and Faber in London in 1965. It is a translation of the second edition of 'Het Grote Vouwboek' by Aart van Breda, which was published by Uitgeverij van Breda in 1963.

I do not know if the contents of the original and the translation are identical.

Analysis

I have divided the designs into a number of categories for the sake of this analysis. These categories do not appear in the original work.

An asterisk by the title of the design means it is believed to be new to the 1963 edition of 'Het Grote Vouwboek'.
