Julian Wehr: Back in Print!
The master paper engineer’s tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comes alive again for readers of all ages!
Julian Wehr is now recognized as one of the pre-eminent paper engineer of the 20th century, specifically for his moving illustrations. Until the arrival of the new millenium, however, admirers of his work knew little about the man. Then, research librarians Alan Boehm and Roy Ziegler set out to find Wehr. Though he had died in 1970, his four children were very much alive and eager to tell them the animated book's life story. From that inquiry came the Wehr family's project to assure that the story, historical documents and new editions of the Wehr animated books are made available to all interested.

Julian's animated books were truly a labor of love. He didn't love creating them, for he was a sculptor and paper engineering was far from where his muse wished to take him. But he did love his wife and children and he could support them through the books. They developed out of that context of family love.
