The beauty of an original vintage anatomical school chart

The plate shows an anatomical cross-section of the human torso and organs in a deep, warm color palette. Because this type of educational chart was designed without text at the time, the poster was flexibly usable for multilingual use in various countries. The original, black-painted wooden rods at the top and bottom enhance the authentic character, while the subtle natural signs of age make the plate a beloved and valuable find for serious collectors.
Authentic GDR export stamps on a historical poster
The back of this specific vintage anatomical school chart tells a fascinating story about its origin. Here you will still find the original, multilingual paper labels with the model title (Internal organs) and a rare, authentic stamp with the official GDR export logo. This proves that the poster was produced behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany at the time for the international trade market. On the front of the plate, the original production code dates IG 014/57 The piece dates precisely to the year 1957. The whole is in a solid, completely intact, and wonderfully lived-in condition.
