and history of the origami design known as the Flat
Bottomed Boat, which is developed from the Patisserie
Box. 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. ********** 1887 A strangely cut version of this design appears as 'Barque plate' in 'Le Travail Manuel a L'ecole Primaire' by M. Coste et J. Lapassade, which was published by Lafon, Vve Ribaut et Tonnet in Pau and A Jeande in Paris in 1887.
