Vintage French Anatomy School Poster Rossignol Double-Sided Chart 11112619

French anatomy school poster

A double-sided French anatomy school poster from the celebrated Rossignol Tableaux de Sciences series, produced for the Cooperation Pedagogique in Montmorillon, Vienne -- one of France's most respected publishers of classroom wall charts from the mid-twentieth century. Numbered No. 17 on one face and No. 18 on the reverse, this is a matched pair of science lessons printed on a single sturdy sheet, covering the sympathetic nervous system (Systeme Sympathique) alongside reflex and voluntary nerve diagrams on one side, and a richly detailed cross-section of human skin and touch receptors (La Peau et le Toucher) on the other.

The graphic quality is immediately engaging: clean anatomical silhouettes rendered in warm rose and deep red against a cream ground, with carefully labeled diagrams of ganglia, nerve plexuses, the spinal cord, Meissner and Pacini corpuscles, and sweat glands, all printed in a palette that feels at once clinical and decorative. Rossignol charts like these were pinned to schoolroom walls across France for decades, and today they translate effortlessly into a study, a home office, a hallway gallery wall, or a medical or science-themed interior. The publisher's name and chart numbers are printed clearly in the lower corners of each side.

Condition and patina consistent with age. The chart shows light overall toning to the cream ground, as expected from classroom use, with no tears or significant losses visible.

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