In 1979, the Czech magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců (An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists) published a jigsaw called Dirkon, a functional pinhole camera made of stiff paper, designed for 35 mm film. At the time, there were very few good magazines for young people in Communist Czechoslovakia, so the Dirkon quickly became part of the pop culture of that generation.
