A beautiful and authentic double-sided vintage anatomy poster illustrating two essential human body systems — the vascular system on one side and the digestive system on the other. Rich in detail and academically precise, this chart was designed as a serious teaching aid and today stands as a compelling piece of scientific history.
The poster was produced by the National Publishing House “Science and Art” in Sofia, Bulgaria, an important state educational publisher established in 1950. It also carries the historic logo of the Bulgarian Red Cross, further reinforcing its institutional origin and professional use.
Each side features a comprehensive legend listing the anatomical components in both Latin and Bulgarian, reflecting the rigorous educational standards of the period and the strong European medical tradition.
Printed after an atlas by the Leipzig publisher Alwin Friolich, the chart combines German academic influence with Bulgarian educational production — a wonderful intersection valued by collectors of medical and scientific materials.
Because it is double-sided, the piece offers versatile display options: frame it between glass, hang it from poster rails, or rotate the sides seasonally in a study, office, clinic, or industrial-inspired interior.
Authentic educational charts like this are becoming increasingly difficult to source, especially with such a strong visual presence.
Good vintage condition with honest signs of age:
-Light staining and age toning
-Minor creases and edge wear
-Small marks from decades of classroom use
