Vintage French School Anatomy Poster Skeleton Muscles Double Sided 11112624

French school anatomy poster

A double-sided French school anatomy poster published by Rossignol under the Tableaux de Sciences series, almost certainly from the 1960s when these large-format printed charts were standard issue in French primary classrooms. One face is numbered 13 and titled Hygiene du Squelette, illustrating spinal conditions -- cyphose, lordose and scoliose -- alongside proper seated posture labeled Bonnes Attitudes, each paired with a cross-section drawing of the spine. Flip it over and plate 14, Les Muscles, presents detailed front and side views of facial musculature, different muscle forms (fusiformes, annulaire, plat), a cross-section of muscle fiber, and the arm in both extension and flexion with biceps and triceps clearly labeled.

Rossignol's Cooperation Pedagogique series, printed in Montmorillon in the Vienne department, was the dominant French supplier of classroom wall charts for decades, and finding both sides intact and legible on a single sheet is a genuine bonus. The warm ochre, brick red and cream palette holds up beautifully, making this a graphic and confident piece for a home library, studio, office or any room that welcomes a touch of mid-century French design. It reads equally well as a collected artifact and as wall decor, particularly framed under glass.

Condition and patina consistent with age. The poster shows light toning to the paper overall, as expected for a classroom piece of this era, with the printed colors remaining vivid and all text fully legible on both sides.

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