A marvelous original vintage travel poster promoting Copenhagen as a travel destination.
An iconic rendering by Vagnby depicting a police constable helping a duck family to cross the street while the traffic is stopped. The poster has been printed in several times. This is the 1957 printing when the woman in the background still has a skirt. Later prints shows the same woman in trousers.
If you want only one Danish travel poster, this is the one! Wonderful ;-)
