| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design known as The Scent
Bottle. 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 Scent Bottle is developed from the Triple Blintz Basic Form. ********** 1873 As far as I know this design first appears as 'Flacon' (bottle) in 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by Auguste Koehler, which was published by Herman Bohlau in Weimar in 1873.
********** The design also appears: 1877 In 'Kindergarten Practice' by Mary Gurney, which is a substantially abridged version, in two parts, of 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by Auguste Koehler. The second part, 'Froebel's Plane Surfaces', contains sections dealing with paper folding, cutting and weaving. The date of the first edition is not known. The second edition was published in 1877 in London by A N Myers and Co.
********** 1880 In 'The Kindergarten Principle' by Mary J Lyschinska, which was published in London in 1880 by Wm Isbister Ltd.
********** 1882 As 'The Purse' in part two of 'The Kindergarten Guide' by Maria Kraus Boelte and John Kraus, which was probably first published by E. Steiger and Company in New York in 1882.
********** 1887 As 'Riechfläschchen' (smelling bottle) in part 2 'Die Praxis' of 'Theoretisches und praktisches Handbuch der Fröbelschen Erziehungslehre' by Bertha von Marentholtz-Bülow, which was published by George H Wigand in Kassel in 1887.
********** 1895 As 'The Scent-Bottle' in 'Course of Paperfolding' by Eleonore Heerwart, which was published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1895.
