Thank you. ********** The Frame - 1859 onwards
********** 1873 A Pull-Out Picture Frame is explained in 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by August Koehler, which was published by Herman Bohlau in Weimar in 1873. The text says that by preparing a strip as shown, then folding it in half lengthways, the corners can be pulled out to create various forms including a picture frame.
********** The same design appears in 'Der Kindergarten: Theoretisch-Praktisches Handbuch' by A S Fischer, which was published by Alfred Holder in Vienna in 1873.
********** The Decorative Frame - 1899 onwards
********** 1910 A design for a 'Bilderrahmen' (picture frame) appears in Part 2 'Das Flechten' of 'Die Frobelschen Beschaftigungen' by Marie Muller-Wunderlich, which was published by Friedrich Brandstetter in Leipzig in 1910.
