[Origami] Paperfolding in Mad Magazine

2019-06-18 Thread David Mitchell
I have added a new page to the history section of my Origami Heaven website 
about paperfolding in Mad magazine in the 1960's - see 
http://www.origamiheaven.com/historymadmagazine.htm

The series of subscriptions adverts featuring origami by Giuseppi Baggi that 
ran from April 1967 to September 1968 are the earliest adverts I know of that 
use origami to promote something that is not paperfolding related.

I hope, however, that some of you may know of other earlier examples. If you 
do, please let me know.

I would also be interested to know if you can identify any of the designs as 
being by anyone other than Giuseppi Baggi. I think the peacocks may be by 
Yoshizawa, for instance?

Thanks for your help

Dave

I believe the peacock pictured with a fanned tail is by Adolfo Cerceda.

Fun stuff! I'm working on a (very brief) Intro to Origami talk, to present
at the Prescott Library in August. This will provide another fun thing to
show my students.

Yes, that is correct. Year of creaton 1975. 

The peacock with a long horizonal tail is a Solorzano Sagredo. He used the 
image as a logo for his envelopes and advertisiment.
