Walt Disney-Signed Peter Pan RARE Dye-Transfer Print (Walt Disney, c. 1953)....
Description
Walt Disney-Signed Peter Pan RARE Dye-Transfer Print (Walt Disney, c. 1953). "I've got you this time, Pan!" This is an outstanding Walt Disney autograph on a 10" x 8" studio dye transfer print featuring Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy, and Smee on the deck of the Jolly Roger. This is the same image Disney used for some of their theatrical lobby cards, and dye transfer prints like this one were often given as studio VIP gifts. The piece has the classic cream-color mat, measuring 16" x 12". The mat is signed in grease pencil by Walt Disney in his unmistakable style. Walt Disney's loopy-logo of an autograph is instantly recognizable. His signature was honed over many years. Disney Legend, Ub Iwerks, recalls meeting Walt in 1919, when a young seventeen-year-old Walter E. Disney was seated at a drawing board, practicing variations on his signature. Diane Disney Miller once remarked that her father took great pride in his signature, and he would often make a big production out of signing it. His hand would start moving the pen in circles even before it reached the paper. As he grew older, it became more flowery and less legible, and he increasingly used a grease pencil instead of pen and ink for his autographs. This fantastic Walt-signed piece is a must-have for discerning collectors of vintage Disney. The item is in Good condition. The mat shows tearing at the top edge, and it is sold as-is.Auction Info
