{"product_id":"1960s-vwv-school-chart-of-air-brake-ⅱ","title":"1960s VWV school chart of Air Brake II","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA publisher that produced almost all textbooks, teaching materials, and educational journals in the former East Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is a 1960s school chart from Volk und Wissen Verlag, commonly known as VWV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is a so-called roll-style wall-hanging teaching aid that was actually used in educational settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo withstand repeated use, paper is mounted on a linen backing, and although there is some age-related wear, it is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was able to purchase these in bulk from a dealer I know this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis seems to be a teaching aid about air brakes used for vehicles and railways. And it's part II, at that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt first, I thought it was a fishing reel or something (laughs). I really love the light blue hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt features hand-drawn illustrations rather than photographs, unique to this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI am drawn to the touch and color choices, which give it a somewhat mid-century feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sense of detachment and minimalism inherent to educational materials provide a unique charm different from fine art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe love them ourselves and have one displayed in our home. Since it can be hung with just a single hook on the wall,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eit’s low-barrier as it doesn't require hard labor like using an impact drill to make holes or hammering in nails, and it's also great that it just rolls up for easy storage without taking up space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEven though I'd like to handle regular framed art, I'm always anxious about transport,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eand I haven't been able to offer it since one arrived completely shattered in the past. (laughs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is a wonderful art piece that is one of the few that won't break even during major moves across countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThey are highly regarded in Europe and North America for their design, with prices averaging over 150€.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere are many different types around the world, and they even have collectors; the fact that you rarely come across the same one is a point that I think tickles the fancy of vintage lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI've written a lot, but I'd be happy if you would simply choose one just like you would pick out an art print or a T-shirt!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e送料・税込みの料金です \/ World Shipping And Tax Including Price\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ematerial - Material: paper and linen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003esize - Size: Image 111x80.5cm, rod length 87cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003econdition - \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition: No issues.
