Vintage French Anatomy Poster Blood Circulation Rossignol School 11112627

French anatomy poster blood circulation

A double-sided French anatomy poster blood circulation chart published by Rossignol under the Tableaux de Sciences series, produced for use in French primary and secondary classrooms, most likely during the 1960s. Printed on sturdy cardstock in the bold, clear graphic style that characterized French pedagogical publishing of that era, it carries the imprint of Cooperation Pedagogique, Montmorillon, Vienne -- a well-regarded regional educational publisher whose school charts are now eagerly collected on both sides of the Atlantic.

Side one, titled La Circulation, presents a full-figure diagram of the human circulatory system with labeled veins, arteries and organs, flanked by detailed insets of blood composition seen under a microscope -- globules rouges, leucocytes, a cross-section of a mucous membrane and a diagram of coagulated blood. Side two, titled Schema de la Circulation du Sang, offers schematic drawings of the heart (front view and cross-section), venous valve mechanics and an artery detail. The two-color palette of deep red and steel blue reads crisply and would look handsome framed in a library, home office or any room where graphic vintage science illustration is appreciated.

Condition and patina consistent with age. Light overall toning to the cream ground, with some minor handling wear at the edges. A few pencil notations are visible on the second side, adding a pleasing trace of classroom life.

Approx. 35.4 in wide x 29.5 in high (90 x 75 cm).
