Figuras de Papel
 
'Figuras de Papel' is a series of 3 booklets published by B Bauza in Barcelona in 1932. Each of the booklets has 12 pages.

I have not seen a full copy of these booklets. The information on this page has been kindly provided by Juan Gimeno and Michel Grand.

These booklets are clearly derived from the 'Image a Pliers' booklets published in France in the same year, which in turn use material published several years earlier in French periodicals.
