SNOWPAPERMAN | RECYCLED CRAFT | WINTER SPECIAL


WIKI NOTE: Documentation of the first snowman is unclear. However, Bob Eckstein (author of The History of the Snowman) documented snowmen from medieval times, by researching artistic depictions in European museums, art galleries, and libraries. The earliest documentation he found was a marginal illustration from a work titled Book of Hours from 1380.
