Large Vintage French Muscular System Anatomy Poster, Framed

1920 - 1940

Sold by Tinker & Toad

Description

A tall, original French anatomy poster titled "Muscles du Corps Humain – Face Postérieure," showing the posterior muscular system with detailed labeling and an inset of the knee joint. The sheet appears to be litho/letterpress printed on toned paper in red, black and cream, and bears the publisher’s imprint for Les Fils d'Émile Deyrolle, Paris, together with plate number 302 at the upper right. The poster has been subsequently presented in a simple, later black-painted wooden frame and glazed, giving a clean, ready-to-hang presentation. Likely dating from the 1930s–40s, this is a classic piece of French educational/scientific design with the handsome, instructional graphics associated with Deyrolle school charts. Its narrow, vertical format works well in a study, home office, library, hallway or medical interior. Condition: wear consistent with age and use. Paper with overall toning, scattered surface marks and staining. Please review images for a full sense of condition.
