About the Item

This original circa 1950 French anatomical poster, titled Tête osseuse – Face antérieure (Skull – Anterior Face), was created by G. Lucas for educational use and is based on the work of the legendary anatomist Dr. Louis Auzoux. A superb example of mid-century medical illustration, this monochrome lithograph presents the human skull with numbered anatomical references, both precise and artistically rendered. The front-facing cranium is meticulously drawn in black ink linework, capturing every ridge, cavity, and suture with a striking graphic clarity. Originally used in French medical schools, this poster belongs to a series of anatomical charts developed for visual learning in biology and anatomy classes. It was printed on heavy paper and designed to be pinned or hung, with its French and English titles reflecting its instructional purpose in international contexts. The typography—clean, modernist, and slightly stylized—enhances the poster’s vintage academic aesthetic, while the subject matter lends it timeless visual intrigue. Whether viewed as scientific material or decorative wall art, it’s a remarkable fusion of art and anatomy. A collector’s item for lovers of vintage science, mid-century educational design, or anyone seeking a dramatic and cerebral statement piece. Medical - Anatomy Dr. Auzoux, rue de l'École de Médecine, Paris - Dr. Auzoux? Those who studied medicine in Paris have not forgotten the shop at 9 rue de l'École-de-Médecine, with its bygone window displaying flayed bodies, stuffed specimens, and anatomical charts. Everything for the teaching of medicine. Today, Dr. Auzoux's cardboard flayed bodies have their own museum in Neubourg, Normandy.
