| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design known as the Trough
which is created from the Cigar Case by interlocking the
flaps at either end.. 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. ********** 1897 As far as I know an illustration of this design, identified as 'Corner Cupboard', first appears in Lois Bates' 'Kindergarten Guide', which was published by Longmans, Green and Co in London in 1897.
********** The same design appears: 1910 As 'Mulde' (Trough) in 'Allerlei Papierarbeiten' by Hildergard Gierke and Alice Kuczynski, which was published by Drud und Verlag B G Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin in 1910.
********** 1918 As 'Artesa' (Trough) in 'Ciencia Recreativa' by Jose Estralella, which was published by Gustavo Gili in Barcelona in 1918. No illustration of the finished figure is provided.
********** 1932 The Trough appears as the roof of a house in Booklet 3 of 'Images a Plier', a series of 6 booklets published by Librairie Larousse in Paris in 1932.
