Vintage French Rossignol School Poster – Henri IV Double-Sided History Chart

An original 1950s vintage French school poster featuring King Henri IV of France, this large double-sided classroom wall chart is an authentic vintage French brocante find and a fascinating piece of mid-century educational history.

Produced by Coopération Pédagogique, Montmorillon, Vienne / Editions Rossignol, these colourful illustrated charts were created as visual teaching aids for French classrooms. Their distinctive artwork and large format have since made original examples highly collectible as vintage French wall art and educational posters.

This double-sided French history poster is numbered 31 and 32, with a different historical scene on each side:

No. 31 – Entrée d’Henri IV à Paris
The entry of King Henry IV into Paris.

No. 32 – Construction du Canal de Briare
The construction of the historic Briare Canal.

Measuring approximately 76 × 56cm, this is a substantial original classroom chart rather than a modern print or reproduction. Its colourful period illustration, authentic French text and genuine classroom provenance make it particularly appealing for framing or displaying in a study, library, hallway, home office or eclectic gallery wall.
