Vintage French School Anatomy Poster Teeth Digestion Double-Sided 1111267

French School Anatomy Poster

A double-sided French school anatomy poster produced by Editions Rossignol of Montmorillon, Vienne -- one of the most prolific publishers of French classroom wall charts from the mid-twentieth century. One face is numbered No. 3 and titled Les Dents (The Teeth), the other No. 4 and titled La Digestion. Both sides are printed in bold, graphic color on sturdy chart paper, designed to be read from the back of a classroom and hung from a wooden rail.

The teeth side maps every tooth type -- incisive, canine, petite molaire, grosse molaire -- alongside a full open-mouth diagram labeling the palais, luette and amygdales, two detailed cross-sections showing email, ivoire, pulpe dentaire, gencive and os maxillaire, and a vivid caries sequence that traces a cavity from surface decay through to abces dentaire. The digestion side is equally rich: salivary glands, an intestinal cross-section with villosites and follicule clos, an enlarged intestinal villus, a labeled liver and vesicule biliaire, and a full absorption diagram linking the intestin grele to the coeur through veins, arteries and the canal thoracique. The color palette -- warm ochre, rose, deep red and teal blue -- makes either side a graphic and informative display for a home office, library, studio or any room that welcomes a touch of French mid-century scientific illustration.

Condition and patina consistent with age. Light overall toning to the paper ground, with minor surface wear; the printed colors remain clear and legible across both sides.

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