(Paris?): Volumetrix, ca. 1942-49. A charming decoupage album from the immediate post-war years with Froebel “echoes”. It consists of four large removable colour plates from which a child can cut out figures of the farmer and various animals of the poultry yard. Designed in a strict geometrical fashion, these figures require very careful and thoughtful cutting along lines of squares and circles and then, folding into Cube-like shapes. Attractive and challenging. So far we have located a copy only in Princeton’s Cotsen Special Collection. Cut and Fold Staple bound album; original printed light card covers with central illustration + 4 light card sheets for cutting out with numbered shapes in colours.
