This educational wall chart from the 1970s, produced in Germany for the Museum of Hygiene in Dresden, is a testament to the era’s modernist scientific illustration. Crafted from coated paper reinforced with canvas and mounted on wooden rods, the chart presents a detailed anatomical rendering of the human nervous system in an almost life-sized format (188 × 82 cm).

The hand-drawn aesthetic and matte finish, typical of mid-20th-century educational materials, convey an authentic vintage character. Signs of age are visible: minor edge wear, longitudinal creases, small areas of canvas delamination, and gentle discoloration. The chart is in good condition, with its original material integrity well preserved. This object speaks in the voice of an era when visual education was as crucial as scientific accuracy. The precise anatomical drawing evokes the atmosphere of 1970s classrooms and museum collections, a time when illustration—more than photography—captured the nuances of the human body.
