Description
Disneyland on the Air Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck Little Golden Book Two-Page Spread Interior Illustration by Samuel Armstrong Original Art plus #D43 Published Book (Walt Disney/Golden Press, 1955). As Mickey and Minnie begin the show, Donald Duck sulks (because his last-minute idea was rejected) and heads back to his seat in this stellar two-page illustration for pages 18 and 19. This Little Golden Book was issued as part of Disney's year-long celebration of the opening of Disneyland in 1955. Artist Sam Armstrong (1893 - 1976) was a background artist on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and worked as a director on Dumbo and Bambi; he also provided backgrounds on Ferdinand the Bull and the 1939 color version of The Ugly Duckling. This fantastic two-page spread shows the park in purple silhouette behind Mickey and Minnie, including Cinderella's Castle and the Tomorrowland TWA Moonliner Rocket. The art is in gouache and ink on a pair of conjoined sheets of illustration board with an overall approximate size of 19.15" x 12.25". The image stretched to three sides, with a size of 19.5" x 9". A published copy of the book is included with the art. The artwork is in Very Good condition with some minor handling wear and small stains well away from the image.Auction Info
