Oak Botanical Poster - Quercus pedunculata

The Science:

This poster illustrates the European White Oak. There are some 600 species of Oak Tree found all around the world in the Northern Hemisphere. Many growing well over a hundred feet tall, they bear fruit in the form of acorns. Many Oak species have a strong and attractive wood, used for carpentry and construction, and cork is produced from a Mediterranean Oak variety. This is one of a wonderful series of Scientific German Educational Charts, created in the 1950s and 60s and still produced by the original printer, internationally recognized for producing educational science charts since 1929. These charts are issued today using the original film and same methods as the first printing. They are printed without inscription for both classroom study and decorative purposes, with special attention paid to botanical detail and scientific accuracy.

The Story:

Mounted on linen canvas stretched on wooden rods for display, each measures 44.5 inches tall by 32.25 inches wide (85 cm x 120 cm), and comes with a nylon cord strung through the top wooden rod for easy hanging. Each comes securely rolled and will be shipped to you in a sturdy mailing tube. These lovely botanical posters are large, colorful and impressive pieces of science decor. Add a touch of vintage classroom style to your home today!
