As seen in Atlas Obscura’s video, left, Rubin’s collection includes a moving postage stamp, a number of wheel-shaped volvelles, and a one-of-a-kind elephant-themed mini-book her friend, paper engineer, Edward H. Hutchins, created from elephant dung paper she found on safari.
Meet Ellen G.K. Rubin. With a collection of more than 9,000 pop-up and movable books from around the world, some more than centuries old, she’s earned herself the nickname “The Popuplady.” Step inside her home to explore the collection and discover what she finds so fascinating about the handmade art of paper engineering. -Atlas Obscura-
