Jung–Koch–Quentell wall charts

[edit]

Jung–Koch–Quentell, often abbreviated as JKQ, describes a collaboration of 19th century scientists and educators who created a series of botanical and zoological wall charts for use in schools. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The Jung-Koch-Quentell’schen Lehrtafeln/Wandtafeln – originally created between 1892 and 1921 [6] – "were used in lectures at university and schools until the late twentieth century"[7] and had been re-issued several times, up until 2015 [8]

The charts were published by Frommann & Morian (1847–1930) in Darmstadt.[9] Originally the Lehr-/Wandtafeln were printed only on a black background, presumably to mimick the traditional school blackboard and to increase visibility from a distance[1]. After Frommann & Morian went out of business, the charts were re-published by Hagemann Lehrmittelverlag in Düsseldorf in the 1950s and 1960s. This time they got reprinted in color, with the objects now on a 'natural' background. The artists who drew these new background is still unknown.[10]

Shortly after their first publication, the charts were recommended by the Prussian educational authorities [11]

Use as Design Objects

[edit]

The wall charts are appreciated for their attractiveness and now are being sold for the purpose of vintage home decoration [12], and are also collector's items. [13]

This has also lead to some confusion about the provenance of these objects. [14]
