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.

This book is wonderful! It contains a truly beautiful and varied collection of vintage illustrations. It is a perfect coffee table book, gift, source for artistic inspiration, or wall art project (if you are willing to take some pages out). The binding and paper are high quality as well.

EXQUISITE ART COLLECTION

I bought this for my daughter, who is a high school art teacher, on her request. It was accidentally sent to me instead of her, so I got a chance to look at it before giving it. Wow! I can see why she wanted this book to share with her "fibers" students. How beautiful! I'm sure that the students were inspired by the luxurious drawings - three of her ten students who qualified for the state art competition received gold certificates!
