1895

As far as I know this design first appears as 'Autre rosace hexagonale' in 'La Deuxieme Annee de Travail Manuel (Cours Superieur)' by P Martin, which was published by Armand Colin et ces Editeurs in Paris in 1895. In this version a triangular insert.is added to this design to achieve a colour-changed centre.

The same design appears:

1939

In 'Plegado' by Rufino Yapur, which was published by Editores Independencia in Buenos Aires in 1939 (together with two decorative variants).

As 'Rosace etoilee' in 'Occupons nos doigts' by Raymond Richard which was published by Les Editions du Cep Beaujolais in Villefranche-sur-Rhone in 1951.
