Vintage Educational Canvas Wall Chart: Apple Tree

Part of our curated collection of Wall Art.

Vintage Educational Canvas Wall Charts: Apple Tree by Jung, Koch, & Quentell. These wall charts became a common fixture in science classes all over Europe for more than a century. The dramatic interpretation of natural cycles and the anatomy of animals and plants were masterfully represented on high-quality paintings over black backgrounds that were lithographically printed onto the roll-up canvases from the original carved stone master.

In this particular Vintage Educational Canvas Wall Chart the overall picture and important details of the plant, as well as the stages of flowering and fruit development, are shown on the iconic dark background.
