Denmark

Few things can make me happier than this hand-colored set of slides from Denmark...

It's an eclectic collection from the early portion of the 20th century, but one that really captures the spirit of a beautiful country. And who doesn't love a windmill?

Want to see a Technicolor yellow of a restaurant scene or the thatched roofs of countryside homes or a transplanted house from Iceland? Factories for butter, eggs, bacon? Yes, we have shots of those! You’ll also find cows, farms, fertilizer, and a few fields of beets…

Schools, principals, libraries? You’ll find those as well! Speaking of learning, check out a wonderful statue of Hans Christian Andersen or the
Lyngby Agricultural Museum.

And yes, you can see Sweden from there…
