The jolly book of boxcraft
A 1914 New York handicraft book by Patten Beard, published by F. A. Stokes, teaching children to make toys, houses and furniture from cardboard boxes and paper. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of finished models and materials set on plain dark backdrops, plus a few line drawings of box构造 with dimensions marked. A designer could take from them the clean geometry of folded box forms, simple gabled houses and modular paper construction.
