| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of folded paper umbrellas and parasols. Please
contact me if you know any of this information is
incorrect or if you have any other information that
should be added. Thank you. ********** 1910 A two-part design for a 'Sonnenschirmchen' (parasol) appears in Part 2 'Das Flechten' of 'Die Frobelschen Beschaftigungen' by Marie Muller-Wunderlich, which was published by Friedrich Brandstetter in Leipzig in 1910.
********** 1937 A design for an 'Umbrella' appears in 'Paper Toy Making' by Margaret Campbell, which was first published by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd in London, probably in 1937, although both the Foreword and Preface are dated 1936, which argues that the book was complete at that date.
********** 1939 A similar design appears, under the title 'La sombrilla que se abre y cierra' (the umbrella that opens and closes) in 'El Mundo de Papel' by Dr Nemesio Montero, which was published by G Miranda in Edicions Infancia in Valladolid in 1939.
*** The same book contains a second design for an umbrella, in this case called 'El paraguas' (the parasol).
********** 1940 Both these designs also appear in 'El Plegado y Cartonaje en la Escuela Primaria' by Antonio M Luchia and Corina Luciani de Luchia, which was published by Editorial Kapelusz in Buenos Aires in 1940. Sombrilla (Umbrella)
*** Paraguas Cerrado (Closed Umbrella)
