AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An antique educational poster depicting a detailed anatomical diagram of the human body, in profile view, with indications of acupuncture points according to Chinese tradition. On the visible side, the chart highlights the muscular structure, internal organs, and main energy meridians, illustrated with numerous numbered points and landmarks on the head, torso, arms, and legs. On the periphery, several anatomical cross-sections are also illustrated, each accompanied by captions printed in French and Chinese.

The central visual shows a standing man with his right arm raised, in a classic pose for medical charts, allowing for the visualization of numerous anatomical details: muscles, tendons, bones, as well as the precise arrangement of acupuncture points. The colors used are primarily red, beige, blue, and yellow tones, offering sharp contrast and high readability. Muscle areas are finely shaded, while internal organs and veins are represented with precision.

The poster is printed on matte surface paper, with noticeable creases visible across its entire height and width, indicating folded storage. The corners are clean, with no visible tears on the presented side. A number "6" is also visible in the bottom left, suggesting that it is a chart from an educational series. In the bottom right, inscriptions in Chinese and French specify the origin and subject.

The chart features a graphic style and color palette typical of educational materials from the second half of the 20th century, particularly used in the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. The format announced in the keywords (65.5 x 106 cm) corresponds to a large wall size, ideal for use in a medical office, training room, or thematic decoration.

Visible texts on the chart include: "COUPE TRANSVERSALE DE LA RÉGION DE..." (CROSS-SECTION OF THE REGION OF...), followed by different anatomical parts, as well as precise annotations for each cross-section. The entire chart is surrounded by a white border, without a frame.

Condition

Did you know? Acupuncture, a central discipline of traditional Chinese medicine, relies on the meticulous mapping of over 360 points located on energy meridians.
