<br/><br/> In the first quarter of the 19th century, French history wall posters benefited from a particular intellectual context, which promoted the national narrative as much as its pedagogy. As history was gradually established as a school subject, the wall poster was presented as a specific material medium, making it possible to encompass all knowledge of the nation's past in a single glance. However, the material characteristics of these objects seem to be holding back their development. Although some posters were relatively widely distributed, and benefited from genuine promotional campaigns, publishers invested little in them. It’s only the Third Republic that this original material became an integral part of the range of tools used to teach French history.
