Original Vintage Educational Canvas Wall Charts: Dog Rose 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 early XX Century carved stone master.

Originally produced as educational tools for schools and colleges by teacher Heinrich Jung, artist and biologist Gottlieb von Koch and college director, Doctor Friedrich Quentell.
