This battered paper and canvas poster is thought to be the oldest surviving periodic table wall chart. Found underneath a lecture
theatre at St Andrew’s University (UK) in 2014, and featuring just 71 elements, the chart is thought to date from 1885 – just
16 years after Dmitry Mendeleev first published the iconic table. The university shared photos of the restored chart to mark the
United Nations-designated “international year of the periodic table.”
