Now reproduced in one deluxe volume for the first time, this unique collection of 150 vintage educational charts celebrates the art of education. Once used in classroom instruction, these charts are now important relics in the history of education, science, and art. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries the charts are divided into three main categories of zoology, anatomy, and botany. Complete with a brief introduction surveying the history of educational charts and their production, this collection is both a rich visual wonder and a glimpse into a design heritage that is still of significance today.

Large-scale wall charts were fundamental tools of classroom instruction throughout Europe in the mid-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Collected here for the first time are more than one hundred beautifully illustrated vintage educational posters. From the cross section of a tulip or an apple tree to the autonomy of a hedgehog or a starfish, the botanical and zoological images in this collection are captivating and significant relics in the history of science, art, and design.
