A Copenhagen printing house, Dyva & Jeppesens Bogtrykkeri, produced this color poster of Peter Pan around 1953, which sets it apart from the many other images of the boy who would not grow up. J.M. Barrie first brought the character to the stage in London in 1904, and he later published the story as the novel *Peter and Wendy* in 1911. The poster dates from the same decade in which Disney's animated film introduced the character to many new audiences, so it is worth noticing how a European printer chose to present him.
