A brightly instructive poster of "Endangered Species" on a wall in a writer's studio designed by Office Sian sent us looking for more examples of the style we think of as "Early Classroom." You can guess where that led: straight to Deyrolle.

The venerable Parisian shop, the last word in botanical posters—and natural curiosities and taxidermy—has thankfully been restored to a semblance of its grandeur after a devastating fire four years ago. We are pleased to see a selection of the Left Bank shop's vast inventory of posters available for purchase online. For more information, visit Deyrolle.
