This article by Alber contains diagrams for Le Palanquin (The Sedan Chair)

The introduction says, roughly, 'The imagination and ingenuity of the Japanese is extraordinary, and the designs that they make by folding paper are of a considerable number. I have already had the pleasure of explaining several to you; today I wish to show you how to make, after their method, a kind of portable chair or palanquin which is carried on the shoulders.'

The date of the issue of Mon Journal in which this article appeared was kindly provided to me by Michel Grand.
