1989 Railway Advertisement Denmark - Original Vintage Poster

This is an original advertisement for Danish State Railways (DSB). 

The image of the poster reveals a DSB MZ train (or maybe a MY train model) that ride across the skies above the sun and the rainbow in a somewhat blue-skied thunderstorm. Below the train is a sailboat flying around and on the ground sits a happy chap.

Now this incredible piece of art is raved with mystery. The poster does not reveal the name of the artist or the year of making - only by looking at other DSB posters who has the same style and decoration I concluded that it is probably made by Barbara Gress sometime in the 1980s. Barbara Gress (1957-2001) was a famous Danish writer, puppet maker and sculptor but she is probably most famous for her poster artwork ordered by DSB. 

Barbara Gress was an incredibly imaginative and loving being who could hardly have been other than the artist, for it was she without conscious intentions born and brought up by his family and her surroundings, for whom the specific and orderly was no life goals.
