Framed Once Upon A Time A Thousand Years Ago Danish Royal History Poster Appraisal

Framed 'Once Upon A Time A Thousand Years Ago' Danish Royal History Poster

This item is a framed poster or print illustrating a historical narrative related to the Danish monarchy. The poster features a central text block in dark blue describing the lineage of Danish kings and queens, starting with Gorm the Old and culminating with Queen Margrethe II, indicating a production period during her reign (1972-2024). Surrounding the text block are numerous small, colorful illustrations of royal figures, warriors, and other historical characters, presumably representing different periods of Danish history and various monarchs or significant personalities. The art style of these figures appears to be whimsical and somewhat simplistic, reminiscent of children's book illustrations from the mid to late 20th century. The background color of the print is a light, somewhat faded green. The print is housed in a simple, dark brown wooden frame with a visible grain, suggesting a common, mass-produced frame rather than a custom-made piece. The frame has a mitered corner construction. A white mat board separates the print from the frame, providing a clean border. The overall condition shows signs of age, including potential fading of the print colors, minor wear on the frame, and possibly some dust or debris under the glass, though the image resolution makes it difficult to ascertain precise details of wear or damage on the print itself. The frame's corners appear tight, and the glass is intact. The item combines historical information with decorative illustration, likely intended as a souvenir or educational piece.
