Here is a quite pristine of a little girl playing music in the forest.

About 19 Danish vintage posters carries the title "Musik skal der til - Spil Selv" (There must be music - Play it yourself or Music is need/wanted - play music yourself). I believe the poster advertises a campaign along with exhibitions to encourage kids to play music in the 1950s and 1960s. Many posters has been produced in different years, with different motifs and by different artists (among them Bjørn Wiinblad and Otto Nielsen) which states that playing music is a quite important matter.

Poul Høyrup (1909-1971) made book illustrations and cover art drawings and was employed by FDB to make different advertisement posters. It was in his work with FDB he developed a soft and stylized modern line which is seen on this poster.
