<<<<The very first "pop-up" was a pyramid in one of Euclid's mathematical texts, illustrating how to figure angles. The 3-D aspect was his way of helping students understand his premises. See also Edward Tufte's book, Envisioning Information reproduced Euclid's pop-up pyramid.>>>>

Pop-up types

end first paragraph of section 1

Before

However, origami tends to be focused on creating objects, whereas pop-ups tend to remain essentially pictorial and mechanical in nature. Some examples follow.

After

However, origami in its simplest form doesn't use scissors or glue and tends to be made with very bendy paper, pop-ups rely on glue, scissors and stiff card. What they have in common is folding.

History

middle third of section 2

Before

Movable books were popular in Germany and Britain during the 19th century, and had a period of popularity in the United States in the 1930s, when Blue Ribbon Publishing of New York was the first publisher to use the term "pop-up" . . .

After

The first real pop-up books were produced by Ernest Nister and Lothar Meggendorfer (a true genius). These books were popular in Germany and Britain during the 19th century.

The great leap forward in the field of pop-up books came in 1929 with the publication of the Daily Express Childrens' Annual Number 1 "with pictures that spring up in model form". This was produced by louis Giraud and Theodore Brown. Four more Daily Express Annuals followed and then Giraud setup his own publishing house, Strand Publications, this produced the groundbreaking series of Bookano books. There were seventeen Bookanos before the series came to an end with the death of Giraud in 1949. In the United States, in the 1930s, Harold Lentz followed Giraud's lead with the production of the Blue Ribbon books in New York. He was the first publisher to use the term "pop-up"

Before

Waldo Hunt is credited with reviving pop-up books for children in the United States in the 1960s. He and two companies he established,

After

The next advance in the field was made by the astoundingly prolific Vojteck Kubasta working in Prague in the 1960s. His lead was followed by Waldo Hunt in the USA with his founding of Graphics International. He and two companies he established,

Move to movable book?

Movable books, plural, redirects here. The lead paragraph suggests to me that "pop-up book" should redirect to Movable book.

FWIW WorldCat, perhaps that means some participating libraries, uses the subject class "Toy and movable books".

Removing personal exhibits

Removing the exhibits and collections referenced for Carol Barton as it seems more appropriate in the article on Barton, not the Pop-up book category article. Nicolet1327 (talk) 19:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
