Vintage Rossignol double sided French school poster 1950s 1960s weaving cloth fashion materials wool cotton fabric dying colonialism Algeria
Before tablets, projectors and even books, French school teachers used to use these posters to teach children all the areas of education - mainly in history, science and technical drawings.
Dimensions: 22 in x 29.9 in (56 cm x 76 cm)
This Rossignol French school poster is from a series of posters from the 1950s and 1960s to guide French school children through history, showing weavers at the time of Louis-Phillipe, weaving colourful cloth using child labour. On the other side is the French colonial battle in Algeria with Abdel Kader.
Because of the age of these posters, and their use in the classroom, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years in the classroom are part of the vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed - the wooden frame is not included. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
