A fantastic antique scientific zoological wall chart. This is number 84 of a series of wall charts published from 1877. The first series began in 1877 as edited by Rudolph Leuckart, then a renown Professor of Zoology in Leipzig, and Hinrich Nitsche, Professor of Zoology in Tharandt, and former student of Leuckart. This dates from around 1890. The first set published, whose reception was likely judged to be of some importance, consisted of three charts: one on Rhizopods, one on Octocorals, and one on Anthrostracean Crustaceans. The charts were described as "masterpieces of accuracy and scientific detail and supply inexhaustible material for laboratory study"
The topic is Insects. There have been repairs over the years, but we don't believe that these detract from what is a museum quality piece of exceptional quality and interest. Perfect to add soul and character to any modern space.
