Early 20th Century Pull Down Chart of Frog Skeleton

:: Very rare early if not first edition vintage circa 1920s of Jurica Biology Series pull down science chart depicting Frog Skeleton (chart number JZS11), published by A.J. Nystrom. Hilary Jurica, the illustrator of the Jurica Biology Series, received his doctorate degree in the 1922, and this series followed as he continued his work in the field. Later versions in color of the Series are more often seen, though still rather hard to find, but these early pieces are true relics of the era. Beautiful drawings with no color, original canvas backing; this piece not only has a great look but has historical significance, quite the conversation piece! Condition is overall fair, original dowel (that would have been along bottom) seems to have been cut in half with one half secured to top of the chart. We can fix up for more secure hanging on display or sell it as is if buyer prefers to do the fixing. Measures approximately 54″ wide including dowel and 42″ long.
