Undated Article

I have not been able to date the following article, which appeared, without context, in a modern private publication 'Les Pliages selon Froebel et les autres'. Michel Grand has discovered a reference to this article in issue 49 of 7th September 1901, which means it must date to before October 1898, as all the issues in between these dates have been searched.

Moulin a Vent en Papier / The Cut and Fold Windmill
