CARDINAL
Diagrammed in Cookery For Every Household (Elizabeth Jack, 1914) under Bishop’s Mitre but quite different from other folds so named. To be effective needs a square of at least 600mm but when completed stands well and is possibly the best of the mitre shapes.
COCKSCOMB
Occurs in most napkin manuals including Mrs. Beeton’s.
Sometimes called a shoe. Although effective
and easily folded, it is perhaps more a table decoration, some reluctance being
shown to dismantling it.
SPIRE
Name coined by compilers, fold occurs in Paper Toy Making (Margaret Campbell, circa 1936)
WATER LILY
Perhaps the best known and attractive napkin fold although really a table decoration.
