Description
Walt Disney World - Western River Expedition Party Town Saloon Concept Drawings by Marc Davis (Walt Disney, 1967). "Here's this nutty cowboy that's up over the saloon on his horse and firing his guns." In the fall of 1967 (and early in the development of Walt Disney World), Marc Davis embarked on the development of a massive "Wild West" themed attraction called Western River Expedition, planned for the second phase of Park expansion. To begin, Marc created numerous exploratory sketches, visualizing the staging, characters, and other necessary elements utilized in his final production sketches. Davis' typical approach to Imagineering is represented by this quintessential sheet of humorous roughs for Party Town Saloon staging, published on page 512 of "Marc Davis In His Own Words." Ultimately, Marc was reassigned to Pirates of the Caribbean by 1972, leaving the Western River Expedition in limbo, never being approved or cancelled. This incredible artifact comes from the collection of Marc and Alice Davis and is a remnant of one of the most ambitious projects never-to-be realized for Walt's Vacation Kingdom. Measuring 17" x 14", this page of early developmental artwork is in Very Good condition, exhibiting minor creases, toning, and wear.From the Disney Legend Inductees Marc and Alice Davis Archive.
