Pfurtscheller Snake Wall Chart

Size: 100x114cm

This large-scale feature piece is a reproduction of the original illustration by Paul Pfurtscheller, titled “Ophidia II Vipera berus” (common European adder) and produced as part of a series of ‘Zoologischen Wandtafeln’ (Zoological Wall Charts) from 1902 onwards. The charts were originally published by ‘A. Pichler’s Witwe & Sohn und Buchhandlung Lehrmittelanstalt’, a publisher specialising in educational literature and teaching aids in Vienna and Leipzig. This piece has been perfectly preserved with over 100 years of wear-and-tear captured to add to its character. The artwork has been printed on a fade-resistant, heavy-duty synthetic canvas, with its brilliant colours and accurate detail carefully restored. Hand-mounted with aged timber batons and 100% cotton rope. Each artwork comes rolled and ready to hang, individually wrapped in a protective cotton sock and sturdy cardboard box - perfect for shipping and storing.
