This
page attempts to record what is known about the origin
and history of the origami design known as The Blotting
Paper Holder / Le Sous-Main Buvard. 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. ********** As far as I know this design first appears in Booklet 2 of 'Images a Plier', a series of 6 booklets published by Librairie Larousse in Paris in 1932. ********** The same design also appears in 'El Mundo de Papel' by Dr Nemesio Montero, which was published by G Miranda in Edicions Infancia in Valladolid in 1939.
********** The design is also found in 'Au Pays des Mains Agiles', which was published by Editions Fleurus in Paris in 1949, along with a simple variant supplied with a stand and named 'Le Cadre' (The Frame).
