ABOUT PRODUCTID 2948
The educational wall chart 'Cretaceous Period', designed by Heinz Dost in Germany during the 1970s, exemplifies the meticulously crafted didactic design of modernist pedagogy. Measuring 116 × 75 cm in a landscape format, it features a paper-canvas surface with a subtle, matte texture. The illustration depicts a prehistoric landscape populated by dinosaurs and flying reptiles, rendered in a naturalistic, multicolored palette: greens, browns, and beiges for vegetation and earth, contrasted by soft blues and yellows in the sky. The artwork displays fine linework, nuanced shading, and a wealth of detail characteristic of mid-20th-century educational materials—balancing scientific accuracy with artistic interpretation. The chart is mounted on two dark wooden rods that serve both as structural reinforcement and hanging support. The edges show minor signs of age: small tears, creases, slight discolorations, and delamination, all consistent with its vintage authenticity. Overall condition is good: the graphic remains vivid and the piece retains its original components. This chart carries the quiet voice of classrooms from half a century ago, when learning was paired with illustrative sensibility. Every detail—from the gentle light diffused through the canvas to the intricate silhouettes of dinosaurs—echoes an era that valued scientific rigor without forsaking aesthetics. The subdued, slightly faded colors evoke the atmosphere of 1970s educational spaces, where charts like this not only instructed but also sparked imagination. Even decades later, it preserves an aura of focus and respect for knowledge. The chart could be
