Vintage French School Educational Poster Respiratory Tuberculosis 11112620

French school educational poster respiratory system

A double-sided French school educational poster respiratory system chart from the Tableaux de Sciences Rossignol series, published by the Cooperation Pedagogique of Montmorillon, Vienne -- numbered No. 7 on one face and No. 8 on the other. Printed on heavy paper stock, these large-format wall charts were a fixture in French elementary and secondary classrooms from the postwar decades onward, designed to be hung at the front of the room and read from the back row.

One side covers Les Echanges Gazeux (gas exchange) in a pulmonary alveole and La Tuberculose, with clearly labeled cross-sections illustrating blood oxygenation, airborne dust particles including microbes and pollen, tuberculose pulmonaire with bacilles de Koch, and a pneumothorax diagram -- all rendered in the warm rose, olive green and navy palette characteristic of mid-century French pedagogical printing. The reverse presents La Respiration in full: the appareil respiratoire with heart, aorta, bronchi and diaphragm; lobules pulmonaires with alveoles and arterioles; respiratory movements at inspiration and expiration; and a classic bottle-and-balloon model of pulmonary ventilation. The graphic clarity and calm scientific authority of these Rossignol charts have made them sought-after wall pieces in studios, home libraries and design-forward interiors.

Condition and patina consistent with age. Light overall toning to the paper and minor surface wear in keeping with decades of classroom use; the colors remain bright and all text is fully legible.

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