This educational board, designed by Heinz Dost in 1970s Germany, features a large, rectangular format (116 × 75 cm) and combines paper with canvas for a distinctive tactile effect. The detailed Cretaceous period illustration is stretched across two satin-finished cylindrical steel rods, with a metal hanging wire, original period label, and a black fabric ribbon for rolling or securing the board. The reverse displays a faded, cool gray-blue tone, while the matte surface bears visible creases and subtle discoloration—testament to its age and authenticity. The utilitarian, minimalist style is typical of mid-20th-century didactic materials, with robust construction provided by the steel supports. Condition is good for its age, with minor edge wear and creasing present but no major damage; the board retains its visual appeal and original structure. This piece echoes the spirit of German educational culture in the 1970s, where science and graphic art converged on a canvas suspended in the classroom. The rawness of steel and the textured surface of the paper evoke the atmosphere of vintage lecture halls, where learning held a ritualistic significance. The vivid illustration seems to serve as a window to the age of dinosaurs, inviting viewers to reflect on Earth's distant past and the passage of time. The board can be displayed on the wall of a living room, study, or home library, adding a unique, collector's touch to the interior. It may be paired with natural wood furniture, metal shelving, or minimalist lighting to emphasize its industrial roots. This piece works equally well in vintage-inspired arrangements or contemporary spaces, where objects with history contribute depth and
