| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design known as the Travel
Bag. 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 As far as I know this design first occurs in the historical record, under the name 'Le sac de voyage' in a list of paperfolds suitable for use in kindergartens, on the Froebelian model, in the book 'Manual Pratique des Jardins d'Enfants de Freidrich Froebel' edited by J-F Jacobs, which was published in Brussels and Paris in 1859. ********** 1863 A design called 'Het reistaschje' is illustrated 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.
********** 1873 A design derived from the Salt Cellar that is most probably the Travel Bag is described, but not illustrated, in 'Die Praxis Des Kindergartens' by August Koehler, which was published by Herman Bohlau in Weimar in 1873. ********** The same design appears: 1882 As 'Portmanteau' 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 'Reisetasche' 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 'A Bag' in 'Course of Paperfolding' by Eleonore Heerwart, which was published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1895.
********** 1910 As 'Reisetasche' in Part 2 'Das Flechten' of 'Die Frobelschen Beschaftigungen' by Marie Muller-Wunderlich, which was published by Friedrich Brandstetter in Leipzig in 1910.
