| This
page is being used to record information about the
history of the paperfolding design known as The Corner
Cabinet. 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. ********** 1859 It is possible that the design called 'La garde-robe' in 'Manuel Pratique de Jardins D'Enfants de Friedrich Froebel', which was compiled by J F Jacobs and published in Brussells and Paris in 1859, is the Corner Cabinet, since it appears in the list of designs in a similar position as the Corner Cabinet does in 'De Kleine Papierwerkers'. ********** 1863 The Corner Cabinet appears as 'Het hoekkastje' (the corner cupboard) in 'De Kleine Papierwerkers 1: Wat men van een stukje papier al maken kan: Het vouwen' (The Small Paperwork 1: What one can make from a piece of paper: Folding) by Elise Van Calcar, which was published by K H Schadd in Amsterdam in 1863. It is developed from the Cigar Case by bringing out one end and then interlocking the two sets of arms.
********** 1873 The design also appears in 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by August Koehler, which was published by Herman Bohlau in Weimar in 1873.
********** 1895 As 'A Bracket' in 'Course of Paperfolding' by Eleonore Heerwart, which was published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1895 in a section of designs developed from Kohler's Groundform.
