About the Item

1958 original travel poster by Des Asmussen Wonderful Copenhagen – Tivoli. This striking mid-century poster captures the festive spirit of Copenhagen’s famous Tivoli Gardens with fireworks exploding in vivid reds, yellows, pinks, and whites above the illuminated entrance archway. Des Asmussen, a renowned Danish illustrator celebrated for his vibrant travel designs, created this poster to promote Copenhagen as a joyful cultural destination. His style combines clarity, colour, and modern Scandinavian elegance, making his works timelessly appealing. The silhouette of evening visitors in the foreground emphasises Tivoli as a place where locals and travellers gather to experience concerts, rides, gardens, and celebrations. First opened in 1843, Tivoli is Europe’s oldest amusement park and remains a symbol of Danish creativity, leisure, and design innovation. This poster reflects the optimistic Scandinavian graphic style of the 1950s, a time when travel posters conveyed modernity, charm, and national pride. It is a highly collectable piece for lovers of Danish graphic art, mid-century design, and the timeless beauty of Copenhagen.
