Product Description Continues Below
In the 19th education, there was a proliferation of visual materials, both printed and demonstration devices, as aids in teaching. The advent of lithography early in the 19th century, and then chromolithography later in the century, made the widespread use of these educational materials economically feasible. These colorful Spanish chromolithographs likely were used to teach natural history subjects.
Condition: Generally very good with the usual overall light toning and wear.
