Description
Original mid-century classroom instructional chart illustrating manuscript formatting and typewriter techniques. Produced in 1969 by The George F. Cram Company for use in typing and secretarial training classrooms.
These large-scale educational charts were designed to hang at the front of classrooms and demonstrate proper typing mechanics and manuscript formatting. The graphic black and red illustrations paired with clean typography create a striking piece of mid-century educational design.
Printed on heavy paper and mounted on original wooden pull-down rollers, the chart can be displayed either fully extended as wall art or partially rolled for a more sculptural presentation.
Today these charts are sought after as decorative objects for offices, libraries, studios, and creative spaces, offering both historical charm and bold graphic presence.
