Vintage French School Poster Farm Double-Sided Rossignol Educational 1111262

French school poster farm

A double-sided French school poster farm diagram published by Rossignol under the Cooperation Pedagogique imprint of Montmorillon, Vienne -- one of the most respected names in mid-century French classroom science charts. One face presents L'Etable (the cattle barn) above La Melangerie (the feed-mixing room), with crisp cutaway illustrations labeling everything from the abreuvoir (drinking trough) and couloir d'alimentation to the belt-driven hache-paille (straw chopper), concasseur (grain crusher) and melangeur (feed mixer). Flip it over and L'Ecurie (the horse stable) appears in equal detail, calling out the ratelier (hay rack), mangeoire (manger), bas-flanc, porte-collier and the rigole a purin (liquid manure channel). These Rossignol Tableaux de Sciences posters were standard classroom fixtures in French rural primary schools from the postwar decades onward, designed to give farm children a precise vocabulary for the working buildings around them.

The graphic style is clean and confident -- primary colors, labeled red arrows and a palette of warm ochre, brown and sage that reads beautifully against a white wall. Displayed together or alone, charts like this bring an authentic French farmhouse character to a kitchen, mudroom, library or design office. The Rossignol name, printed clearly in the lower right corner, is a mark collectors and decorators actively seek out.

Condition and patina consistent with age. A small area of surface loss is visible on the hache-paille section of the Melangerie panel; light edge wear and minor toning to the margins overall, as expected for a working classroom piece of this period.

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