WALTER E. DISNEY (1901-1966) American artist, film producer and businessman, creator of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, producer of the first animated film with sound, builder of theme parks in Anaheim and Orlando. A superb Disney item, a huge Photostat image of his best-loved character Mickey Mouse, measuring a whopping 13" x 18", which has been carefully hand-colored in acrylic or tempera ink. Bearing a huge inscription at bottom left: "To Henry all best wishes Walt Disney ", Disney's autograph alone measuring 5". Beautifully presented in a lavish gilt frame. This is undoubtedly the largest and finest Disney-signed image we have seen, and it would be difficult to obtain a better Mickey Mouse example! In very fine condition, unexamined out of frame. $6,000-8,000
