Spiel und Arbeit by Hugo Elm, 1885
 
'Spiel und Arbeit' by Hugo Elm was published by Verlag und Drud der Otto Spamer in Leipzig in 1885.

A partial copy of the work can be accessed here. The tables appended to this copy unfortunately only run up to table 55. The tables referred to in the sections about paperfolding run up to 81, thus the analysis of the paperfolding items included in this book given below is likely incomplete,

The illustration on page 133 is reproduced from page 283 of 'Spielbuch fur Knaben' by Hermann Wagner (but omitting the Hexagonal Packet.)
