Antique Bulgarian School Wall Chart – Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra)

A beautiful and authentic Bulgarian school wall chart depicting the chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), one of the most iconic mountain animals of the Balkans. These educational posters were commonly used in Bulgarian classrooms during the first half of the 20th century to teach zoology and natural history.

The chart features a finely detailed illustration of a chamois standing in its natural alpine habitat, with a second animal visible in the background. Printed on paper and mounted on a linen-backed canvas support with original wooden hanging rails, the poster retains its authentic classroom character and patina.

The piece displays significant age-related wear, including creases, tears, edge losses, and surface marks, all clearly visible in the photographs. Despite its condition, it remains a highly decorative and increasingly rare example of early educational material from Bulgaria.

Perfect for collectors of school charts, natural history memorabilia, mountain wildlife art, museum displays, rustic interiors, hunting lodges, or educational collections.
