Description

Gustaf Tenggren Tenggren's Bedtime Stories Little Golden Book Front Cover Painting 10.25" x 12.5" Original Art Display with a Copy of the Published Book (Simon & Schuster, c. 1950s). Here is Gustaf Tenggren's updated cover art to his classic 1942 children's book of fables and fairy tales, one of the first 12 Little Golden Books when originally published. Gustaf Tenggren (1896 - 1970) is the highly-regarded Swedish illustrator who worked with Disney on classic animated films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. Tenggren's "old world" style has charmed us all for decades, and this sweet image of young children sharing a storybook is lovely. The art is in gouache and is matted along with a copy of the book; the art opening is approximately 10.25" x 12.5", and the mat is framed with Plexiglas for an overall size of 25" x 18". A second "D" reprint copy of the book is also included for your reading pleasure. The white wooden frame has some handling wear with a few tiny nicks. All frames are sold as-is. Photos are not representative of actual frame condition. The art appears to have slightly slipped within the mat and may need adjusting. The art is in Very Good to Fine condition with light handling wear.
