| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design I call the Tuck-in
Mitre. 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 Tuck-In Mitre is developed from a version of the Newspaper Hat, it's distinguishing feature being that both outside edges tuck into pockets at the front. There are two versions of the design, one in which the top point is left as it is and the other in which it is tucked into the band around the opening of the hat. Both versions are recorded on this page. The second version is very similar to The Turban. ********** In Japan (and in publications by Japanese authors) 1895 This design appears as 'Kinchaku' (Purse) in issue 1895 / 6 of the Japanese children's magazine 'Shokokumin'.
********** In Western Europe and the Americas 1932 Booklet 5 of 'Images a Plier', a series of 6 booklets published by Librairie Larousse in Paris in 1932, includes two variants of the design, a 'Mitre de Monseigneur' (Bishop's or Cardinal's Hat) and a 'Bonnet de Police'.
********** 1940 The same two variations also appear in 'El Plegado y Cartonaje en la Escuela Primaria' by Antonio M Luchia and Corina Luciani de Luchia, which was published by Editorial Kapelusz in Buenos Aires in 1940. Mitra
