The appendix at rear contains thumbnails of most of the Jung-Koch-Quentell charts, with keys (or explanatory text details) printed beside each.

The keys included here are taken from the educational manuals that the printer, Hagemann Educational Media, supplies with each wall chart.

From rear cover: "Large-scale wall charts were fundamental tools of classroom instruction throughout Europe in the mid-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Collected here for the first time are more than one hundred beautifully illustrated vintage educational posters. From the cross section of a tulip or an apple tree to the anatomy of a hedgehog or starfish, the botanical and zoological images in this collection are captivating and significant relics in the history of science, art, and design". From the author's biography page: "Katrien Van der Schueren has been collecting educational charts since childhood. She owns Voila! Art for the Modern Eye, an eclectic showroom in Los Angeles, where she juxtaposes vintage finds and contemporary art with her own line of designs, including furniture, lighting, and decorative objects. Before moving to the United States, Katrien, a native Belgian, studied at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris and worked with the Flemish Ministry of Culture and the European Commission in Brussels. She has written numerous articles about art and the history of collecting for various European newspapers, magazines, and museums. Katrien and her collection of curiosities have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles magazine, Angeleno magazine, Western Interiors, and Architectural Digest, among others".
