Vintage French School Poster Agriculture Harvest Rossignol Double-Sided 1111269

French School Poster Agriculture

A double-sided French school poster agriculture chart published by Tableaux de Sciences Rossignol for Cooperation Pedagogique of Montmorillon, France, numbered 11 and 12 in their classic educational series. One side, titled Logement des Recoltes, presents a vivid cross-sectional diagram of a traditional barn showing fourrages (hay and fodder) storage with overhead rail, tractor cable and open and closed pitchfork systems, plus a lower grain level with automatic trapdoors, pulleys, electric winch, concrete floor and milling area. The reverse, labeled Batteuse and Moissonneuse-Batteuse, dissects a threshing machine and a combine harvester in precise cutaway drawings, every moving part named in clear French typography. Rossignol classroom charts from this era, produced in central France, were standard fixtures in French rural schools during the postwar decades and have become sought-after graphic documents of mid-century agricultural life.

The lithographic printing is bold and confident, using a palette of deep olive green, warm golden yellow and vivid red against a clean white ground. The diagrammatic style is both technically informative and visually striking, with crisp linework and color fills that read beautifully at a distance. Framed, either side holds its own as wall art in a farmhouse hallway, a kitchen, a study or any space that calls for graphic French country character. Collectors of vintage Rossignol educational posters will recognize the high quality of the series.

Condition and patina consistent with age. Light wear and some toning to the edges; the printed surface on both sides remains bright and legible overall.

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