The kangaroo's silhouette is die-cut along its contours, emphasizing the animal's dynamic posture. The illustration showcases shades of brown, beige, and grey on the fur, with details accentuating the subject's musculature and vitality. The base features stylized green vegetation, on which the word \"Kangarou.\" is inscribed in printed letters, reinforcing the object's educational purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side shows a crisp print, with a natural color palette and subtle shading, characteristic of school chromolithographs. This material was frequently used in schools to illustrate fauna and facilitate learning vocabulary and natural sciences. The slightly satin finish of the surface suggests a meticulous finish, without being able to certify the exact material (likely cardboard or thick paper, without affirmation in the absence of explicit indication).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe faithful and expressive animal motif is enhanced by a precise cut that follows the shape of the kangaroo and the grassy base. The inscription \"Kangarou.\" is perfectly legible and centered on the lower part, typical of old educational boards or school posters. No other text, logo, or publisher's indication is visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece shows a light patina and some visible handling marks on the edges, testifying to its use in a school or educational context. No major chips or tears are visible on the displayed side; the colors remain well-preserved, with very slight tarnishing compatible with old use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item and sold as is.
