Vintage French Double Sided School Poster, Louis XI History Teaching Aid (P7)

This is lovely vintage double sided French school history poster dating from around 1950s. This poster will have adorned a French classroom where it would have been used as a teaching aid. I 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 23 and 24. One side is titled 'Louis XI et Charles le Temeraire' which translates as 'Louis XI and Charles the Bold'.- number 23. It refers to Louis XI. of France and Charles the Bold, or Charles the Rash, of Burgundy; the one famous in history for his intricate policy, the other for his lack of anything that could fairly be called policy. The relations between these two men ranged from open hostility to a peace of the most fragile character.The other side is titled 'Louis XI a Plessis les tours' which refers to Plessis-lèz-Tours which was the favourite residence of King Louis XI of France, who died there on 30 August 1483. It was also the scene of the 1589 meeting between King Henry III of France and the future King Henry IV of France which resulted in their alliance against the Catholic League.- number 24. 
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.
