This vintage poster is an original and authentic promotion for the "Djurgårdsmässan" Fair at Skansen, Stockholm, Sweden, likely held in the 1940s.
The design features a charming scene of a hot air balloon with several musicians in the basket, capturing the fair's lively and festive atmosphere. Skansen, the venue for the fair, is the first open-air museum and zoo in Sweden, founded in 1891. Today, the Djurgårdsmässan foundation provides financial support to people over 65 who are members or former members of the Stage & Film Trade Union. Initially, only actors were covered, but the foundation has since expanded to support all who have been artistically active, thanks to the efforts of former colleagues.
The poster's colors are fresh and bright, though there are light water stains on the left, which are not very noticeable. This vintage poster is a unique and genuine piece of Swedish cultural history, making it a delightful addition to any collection.
