Description
Jay Ward Productions Bullwinkle and Friends Promo Cel and Production Materials Group of 4 (Jay Ward, 1963). Here is a very rare matted cel image that was designed to promote the three Jay Ward television series on air in 1963 (The Bullwinkle Show, Hoppity Hooper, and Fractured Flickers) and includes a planned-for fourth (The Nut House) with the cel placed on marbled paper. The cel image is photocopied, with some areas hand-painted in white, and at the top is Jay Ward Productions in a "ransom note" typeface. The production items include the original black ink with whiteout on paper drawing by Sam Clayberger (1926 - 2018) of Hoppity, Bullwinkle, and the Nut Squirrel with a pasted-on image of Theda Bara on a hand-cut photo print on glassy stock; Theda's "mustache" is hand-drawn on the print in ink. This original is on paper taped to a sheet of 12 field paper. An outline drawing of the three characters is on a sheet of 12 field paper. There's also a 12 field cel with a pale, ghost-like black image with no underpainting. The matted cel has a different paper background than the one featured on page 208 of Darrell Van Citters' book The Art of Jay Ward Productions (that cel is also available as a different lot in this auction). This cel and background are in a Jay Ward Production mat measuring 13" x 10" with a mat opening of 9" x 7". The vintage mat has some age-related toning and edge wear. The matted cel is in Very Good condition with minor handling; the loose cel and both pieces of artwork are in Good to Very Good condition with some handling wear on all plus edge wear and age-related paper toning on the two drawings.From the Archive of Sam Clayberger and Michael Kadin.
