Vintage Soviet School Poster Elephant 1960 , USSR Educational Animal Wall Chart

Beautiful original vintage Soviet educational school poster depicting an Asian elephant (Слон in Russian), originally produced as part of the "World of Animals" (Мир животных) educational series.

Printed in Moscow in 1960 by the State Educational Publishing House of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR, this authentic classroom chart was designed for use in primary schools. The artwork illustrates working elephants transporting timber under the guidance of mahouts, making it both an educational zoological illustration and a fascinating glimpse into mid-century Soviet teaching materials.

Its warm colors, painterly illustration, and genuine classroom wear give it wonderful vintage character. A fantastic piece for collectors of educational posters, natural history, Soviet memorabilia, or vintage classroom décor.

The poster remains in good vintage condition with expected signs of age and classroom use, including edge wear, small tears, corner damage, light staining, and surface patina. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
