Tivoli (Fairies and Green light)

Visitors to Denmark may be aware of Tivoli Gardens (or Tivoli as it is commonly known), an amusement park and gardens in Copenhagen.  Opening on 15 August 1843 it is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.

In this fantasy poster, with a background of purple-blues fading to lilac, the characters of Columbine and her lover Harlequin (from the traditional Italian pantomime performed in the Tivoli theatre) are depicted together with small fairies hovering like insects around a beautiful green lamp.  The letters that the fairies hold spell Tivoli.

A rare and beautiful poster from the 1940's.
