1936 Danske Landmandsbank Pictorial Map of Central Copenhagen, Denmark

This is a 1936 Danske Landmandsbank (Danish Farmer's Bank) pictorial tourist map of central Copenhagen, Denmark. Published only a few years before the outbreak of World War II (1939 - 1945), the city's many gardens and parks are highlighted alongside museums, monuments, churches, and train stations.

Pictorial illustrations highlight the Kuntsmuseum, the Radhaus, the Botanical and King's Gardens, the Tivoli Gardens, and the Kastellet (Citadellet). Copenhagen's train stations and railway lines, as are several churches and other monuments, are illustrated. Arrows point the way toward the zoo, the stadium, and the airport.
