1863

As far as I know the Squid first appears, as 'De inktvisch' (the cuttlefish), 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.

1896

This same design is pictured, but not named, in Eleonore Heerwart's 'Course in Paperfolding', which was first published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1896.
