We have a number of different posters like this for sale all depicting different historical images. This is ONE poster which has a different image on each side. These were numbered when made, this one is 5 and 6. One side is titled 'Camp de Huns' which translate as 'Huns' Camp'.- number 5. This refers to Attila the Huns camp (king of the Huns). The other side is titled 'Clovis proclame Roi' - number 6. This translates as 'Clovis proclaims himself King' and refers to Clovis 466 – 511 who was the first king of the Franks to unite all of the Franks under one ruler, changing the form of leadership from a group of petty kings to rule by a single king, and ensuring that the kingship was passed down to his heirs. He is considered to have been the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom for the next two centuries. Clovis is important in the historiography of France as "the first king of what would become France.
This has the publisher's name Cooperation Pedagogique Montmorillon Vienne printed on both sides. The Pedagogical Cooperation was created in 1946 by a teacher from Vienne, André Rossignol. He first published a pedagogical booklet sold by subscription to teachers in France and Belgium, covering multiple subjects including history. He moved to Montmorillon in 1953. Montmorillon is a Book town and it is branded as the "City of Writing". The name Editions Rossignol appeared in 1954 so these probably pre date this time.  As early as 1948, André Rossignol published wall maps printed on both sides. Then colour posters were published in the form of a large format plate in a wooden frame. This poster comes from a series of numbered panels depicting the history of France, geography and natural sciences. Many of them illustrate scenes from everyday life and serve as speech boards for small classes. These series of pedagogical charts have left their mark on generations of teachers and students. This one is unframed, it will be shipped in a poster tube, not folded. This would add a fantastic French flair to any home or office and could be easily put in a frame.
