| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the compound paperfolding design known as The
Dog. 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. The Dog is a compound design made from three pieces, the Jacket and the Trousers, which together form the front and back legs, and a head developed from a similar configuration of folds. ********** In China (and in publications by Chinese authors) 1917 A three-paty design for a 'Tiger', made by combining a Jacket and two pairs of Trousers, appears in 'Xu Zhe zhi tu shuo' (More Illustrated Paperfolding) by Yongxiang Shi, which was published by the Commercial Press in Shanghai in 1917.
********** In Western Europe and the Americas 1928 As far as I know the Dog ( first appears in 'Fun with Paperfolding' by William D Murray and Francis J Rigney, which was published by the Fleming H Revell Company, New York in 1928.
********** 1949 The same design appears as 'Le Chien' (or with a slight variation to the head as 'Le Reynard') in 'Au Pays des Mains Agiles', which was published by Editions Fleurus in Paris in 1949.
