| Pleasure with Paper by Aart van Breda, 1954 | |||||||
| 'Pleasure
with Paper, by Aart van Breda was published by Faber and
Faber Ltd in London in 1954. It is a translation of the
author's 'Plezier met Papier' which was originally
published by Uitgeverij van Breda in Amsterdam in 1950. I have not seen a copy of the Dutch original but as far as I know the contents of both books are identical. A full copy of the English version can be accessed online here. ********** Analysis The majority of designs in the work are either simple fold and cut designs or more complex designs made using the techniques of cardboard modelling. Those designs which have specific pages of their own on this site are shown below: Jacob's Ladder - The Newspaper Ladder
