Bonjour du Danemark, by Ib Antoni, Denmark 1960s

AN EXQUISITE original vintage poster in French created by one of the leading figures of the golden age of Danish design, Ib Antoni (1929-73), showing a member of the Royal Life Guards. 

Size  56cm x 36cm 

Condition  There is a clean 5cm diagonal tear at the bottom margin with no paper loss. Otherwise very good.  If you would like to know more please get in touch. 

Background   Antoni’s tidy and often comic style, frequently deployed in official promotions such as this one, helped to define the international image of Denmark in the 1960s. He also worked for Life magazine and Unicef, and for brands such as Volvo and Shell. The image shows a guardsman in uniform and bearskin holding the national flag horizontally, as occurs in the daily changing of the guard ceremony in Copenhagen.
