Schoolroom Posters from India
I’m back in Helsinki for a couple of weeks, staying with some friends. They have traveled a bit in India, and they have this wonderful poster on their wall.
I don’t have my scanner with me, of course, but I was able to find a copy of the poster online. It’s featured in a delightful book about traditional Indian school posters (that happens to be on the nightstand here) entitled An Ideal Boy: Charts from India. Highly recommended.
There is a corresponding chart of Bad Habits as well:
Here are some more posters found online.

Where can I get these posters in the United States? My husband got the “bad habits” one as a gift and he loves it! I was looking for others like it but cannot find them anywhere. I saw the links to the websites here but they don’t seem to take American dollars. Any help would be great!
Hello Martha,
If you pay with a credit card, the currency conversion should be no problem. Just make sure they’re willing to ship to where you are.
Thank you! I’ll have to contact them.
