Mathematical Treks: From Surreal Numbers to Magic Circles
By Ivars Peterson on page 103 talks of this.
it did not show any results
it did not even suggest that I made a spelling mistake
" Harborth" instead of "Haborth"
German mathematician Heiko Harborth
and is the smallest known 4-regular matchstick graph: The 104 matchsticks
