The Hagemann Company was established by three men; a doctor, an artist and a teacher. The three saw a need for quality educational tools in the classroom and set forth to create superior series of charts illustrating flowers, plants, animals and the human body. Each man possessing his own set of talents, the combination produced reference material the likes of which had not been seen before and has not been replicated since. Text was never printed on the charts - this way the material maintained its universal accessibility and could be used throughout Europe as a teaching aid. The lack of text also enhances their ability to be recognized as "objects de art". Hagemann Charts represent the union between a doctor's understanding of the scientific and the matchless artistic ability to capture beauty in the natural world. Accuracy and artistic perfection are the foundation for the international success of the Hage Charts. A natural approach to attention to anatomical detail are foremost in each chart. Hagemann Charts are printed in up to 10 colors and then cold pressed laminated. The work is done by hand, preventing any loss of color or artistic nuance and guarantees the outstanding quality of each chart. Featured on the cover of Elle Magazine and in June 2008 issue of Country Home. The photos give a general sense of the color of the charts but are not accurate due to variations in light and difference in individual monitor settings.

It is always a good idea to check the stock on the charts labeled as limited quantity before ordering. Sales of charts are final, no returns. At Passage we greatly admire the Hagemann Charts and are pleased to be able to offer them. However, they are a difficult product, often out of stock and sometimes takes two to three weeks to arrive to us, we do not stock the charts only order them when sold. Keep this in mind when you consider buying one of these magnificent charts and we think they are worth the extra wait to own one.
