Early 20th Century Adam Rouilly Plate No 15.

1900 - 1920
Description

Adam Rouilly Medical Section Through Head Plate No 15.

What a wonderful visual statement. This hand-crafted, bespoke framed example of an early 20th-century human head section stands an impressive 43 inches tall. A true statement piece of wall art, it combines a subtle twist of the macabre with minimalist styling and a wonderfully weird appeal. Soft pastel colours contrast beautifully with the bold, anatomical detail, while the original Adam Rouilly stamps add authenticity, history and character.

Striking, unusual and undeniably intriguing, this is a piece that will command attention wherever it hangs.

Dimension

Height: 43”

Width: 37”

Depth: 1”

Details

Date: 1920 - 1930

Origin: United Kingdom

Maker: Adam Rouilly (London)

Materials: Paper

Condition: Fair

Condition Report

With areas of staining, aged repairs and original fold creases that have naturally weathered over the years, this original lithographic poster is a rare survivor.

The poster has recently been sympathetically framed in a glass-fronted display frame, allowing it to be both protected and presented to great effect. Repairs are visible to the upper section of the poster; however, these appear to be historic and have aged naturally along with the surrounding paper, resulting in the tonal and colour variations visible in the photographs.

Despite its obvious age and previous use, the poster remains in remarkably presentable condition. Its imperfections, wear and historic repairs form an important part of its character and authenticity, making this a particularly rare and evocative surviving example.

This early twentieth-century Adam Rouilly wall art from 1920 is an anatomical cross-section lithographic poster depicting the human head in cream and neutral tones with soft pastel shading, numbered scientific labels, and bold typography. Encased in a simple black wooden frame with a glass front, the paper chart displays areas of staining, aged repairs near the upper section, and original fold creases that have naturally weathered over time. The piece measures 109.2 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep. Suitably positioned on a narrow wall space, this medical illustration brings a distinct gentleman's library aesthetic to a study, hallway, or home office. The composition highlights internal anatomical structures including the brain, nasal cavity, and spinal column, complemented by original stamps and visible signs of age. The robust construction and historic character provide an intriguing visual focus for contemporary interiors seeking an authentic scientific display.

Frohse anatomical charts were created by German artist Fritz Frohse in the early twentieth century and widely distributed for medical education due to their detailed anatomical accuracy.

These educational charts were typically printed as colour lithographs on heavy paper, often mounted onto linen canvas or backing board, and secured within wooden frames or with hanging rollers.

Authentic period charts display natural paper patination, clear publisher stamps such as Adam, Rouilly & Co., lithographic printing details under magnification, and signs of period-appropriate wear.

Display the framed scientific illustration as a statement piece in a home office, hallway, or study alongside dark wood furniture and brass fixtures to suit a dark academia design aesthetic.

Position the print away from direct sunlight and moisture sources, ensuring it is framed behind UV-protective glass using acid-free mounting materials to avoid paper discolouration.
