Vintage School Chart, a German Poster Depicting the Human Flea, Early 1900's

About the Item

This school chart has been made by Dr. Schlüter & Dr. Mass. The German title of this poster is "Der Menschenfloh" Von Prof. Dr. A. Hase. Verlag von Paul Parey in Berlin. Early 1900's. The human flea (Pulex irritans) – once also called the house flea – is a cosmopolitan flea species that has, in spite of the common name, a wide host spectrum. It is one of six species in the genus Pulex; the other five are all confined to the Nearctic and Neotropical realms. The species is thought to have originated in South America, where its original host may have been the guinea pig or peccary.
