Vintage St. George & Dragon Pop-up

Saint George and Dragon Bastlebogen
This "Saint George and the Dragon" papercraft pop-up scene comes from the 1945 children's book, Bookano Stories Pot-pourri Edition. The word "potpourri" in the title refers to the fact the book features a collection of pop-up stories from other pop-up books by the same publisher. This reproduction was created by Alfredo Podestà who used the original book as a guide for his model. The PDF template for the scene may be downloaded from Alfredo Emotions.
