AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Wall poster illustrating a male anatomical diagram dedicated to acupuncture, typical of Chinese medical imagery. The poster depicts a three-quarter view of an adult male body, nude, showing the meridians and acupuncture points precisely drawn across the entire silhouette. The graphic style is realistic, with flesh and brown colors, and particular attention paid to anatomical details.

Around the main figure, several insets illustrate close-up body parts: an ear, a profile view of a face, a hand, and a foot, each annotated to specify the locations of the acupuncture points specific to these areas. These elements reinforce the educational aspect of the poster, designed for educational or professional use.

The background is white, highlighting the central figure and colored details. In the bottom left, the number "5" is printed, suggesting it is a plate from a series. In the bottom right, Chinese characters are visible, accompanied by an English mention: "ANHUI JIANZHUSHI CHUBANSHE", likely indicating the original publisher or printer.

The poster shows pronounced horizontal and vertical folds, indicating original folding or prolonged storage. No frame is visible; the poster is simply placed on a wooden table in front of an old bookshelf, which accentuates its vintage appearance. The surface appears to be in good general condition despite slight handling marks and some creasing visible in the light.

The color palette, illustration style, and typography suggest a production dating from the second half of the 20th century, consistent with the "vintage" keyword. The poster combines a scientific and artistic approach typical of educational tools used in traditional Chinese medicine schools or by acupuncture practitioners.
