Never let it be said we don't cater for all your retro needs on this site. If you have an urge for vintage botany, take a look at these botanical charts available from Whippet Grey.
The charts were produced by a German educational company and were originally illustrated in the 1950s and 60s. These have been re-issued based on the original print, printed onto canvas and presented with wooden poles. The black background gives them a dramatic look, something enhanced by their size – they are 120cm long.
Choose from six different designs, priced at £48 each.

I hate to admit it, but I wrote a PhD about these things. Really. I believe these to be the smelly ones, rubbercoated, so that you can use blackboard chacls on them. In this condition, they’re quite rare. In Duisburg (tragically in the news these days) there’s a very large collection, as in Copenhague. These thing travelled the world!
