Description
NEAR MINT:
1946 WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS/NEW YORK GRAPHIC SOCIETY:
"BAMBI MEETS HIS FOREST FRIENDS" FULL COLOR LITHOGRAPHED ART PRINT.
THE APPROXIMATE OVERALL SIZE OF THE FABULOUS “LIMITED EDITION” LITHOGRAPHED FULL COLOR PRINT ON
“HEAVY WEIGHT” PAPER STOCK
IS 18” X 21”.
THE PRINTED SIZE OF THE GRAPHICS SCENE WITHIN THE WHITE BORDER AROUND THE SAME IS 17 1/2” X 15”.
THE PRINTED AREA IS IN LIKE-NEW CONDITION.
THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE ART SHEET IS NEAR MINT.
THE PRINT HAD TO HAVE BEEN STORED OR DISPLAYED IN A CLIMATE AND LIGHT CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT TO BE IN SUCH LIKE-NEW CONDITION.
IT IS COMMON FOR THE WHITE BORDER AREAS ON THESE PRINTS TO HAVE SUFFERED PAPER TONING FROM EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OVER THE DECADES.
THIS HANDSOME PRINT WAS ISSUED IN 1946 BY THE NEW YORK GRAPHIC SOCIETY UNDER LICENSE FROM WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS.
THE SOCIETY IS NEW YORK'S OLDEST MUSEUM WITH ORIGINS BEGINNING IN 1804.
THE GRAPHICS DEPICTS A SCENE BASED ON THE STUDIOS’ FEATURE FILM BAMBI” 1942 IN WHICH THE YOUNG PRINCE MEETS “HIS FOREST FRIENDS” IN THE GLASS WHERE HE WAS BORN.
“COPYRIGHT NEW YORK GRAPHIC SOCIETY, FINE ART PUBLISHER /PUBLISHED WITH COOPERATION OF WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS, CALIF.” IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM MARGIN(CLOSE-UP PHOTO REFERENCE PROVIDED).
THE PRINT COMES WITH A HEAVY PLASTIC FRAME WITH A CLEAR PLEXIGLAS FRONT AND HARD WHITE PANEL BACKSIDE.
I PURCHASED THE ITEM FROM THE HIGHLY RESPECTED ART AUCTION HOUSE KNOWN AS RO GALLERIES OF NEW YORK.
RO GALLERIES PROVIDED ALL THE FRAMING WITH THEIR AUTHENTICITY LABEL GLUED TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE WHITE FRAME BACKBOARD.
THE FRAMED SET WEIGHS JUST OVER 3 POUNDS AND WILL SHIP AS I RECEIVED, FRAMED.
INCLUDED WITH THIS FABULOUS PRINT IS A PROMOTIONAL PRINT FOR THE "BAMBI" SKETCHBOOK SERIES SET SIGNED BY OLLIE JOHNSTON.
THE SIGNED PRINT MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 8 1/2" X 11" AND PRINTED ON A LIGHT BEIGE COLOR HEAVY PAPER STOCK.
THIS SCARCE "PROMOTIONAL" PIECE WOULD DISPLAY BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE BAMBI PRINT, POSSIBLY FRAMED ALONE AND PLACED ASIDE THE PRIMARY PRINT.
OLLIE JOHNSTON IS CONSIDERED A DISNEY STUDIO LEGEND AND ONE OF THE SPECIAL "FATHERS" OF THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMATION.
OLLIE WAS PART OF WALT DISNEY'S EXCLUSIVE ANIMATOR CLUB KNOWN AS HIS
“NINE OLD MEN”.
MR. DISNEY USED THIS HONORABLE IDENTIFICATION “NINE OLD MEN” AS A PARITY TO THE THEN NINE OLD MEN THAT SAT ON THE U.S.SUPREME COURT IN THE 1930’S.
OLLIE WAS AMONG THE FIRST ARTIST WALT DISNEY ASSIGNED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF BAMBI IN 1928.
IN 1990, OLLIE JOHNSTON AND FRANK THOMAS(ALSO ONE OF THE "NINE OLD MEN" RELEASED AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON THE MAKING OF THE FILM:
BAMBI: THE STORY AND FILM
I PURCHASED MY FIRST PRINT OF THIS EDITION WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE SAME ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO THAT WAS SIGNED BY BOTH OLLIE AND FRANK FROM A MUTUAL LONG TIME COLLECTOR OF VINTAGE DISNEYANA AND IT HAS BEEN IN MY PERSONAL COLLECTION SINCE THEN.
I HAD THE ART MATTED AND FRAMED IN A VERY HIGH END MUSEUM QUALITY GLASS FRONTED FRAMING SET.
THE FRAMED PRINT HANGS ON A WALL TO THE LEFT OF MY DESK IN MY DISNEY OFFICE SPACE.
I HAVE ENCLOSED A PICTURE REFERENCE OF MY FRAMED ART WHICH IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE ART PIECE THAT I'M OFFERING IN THIS LISTING.
PLEASE VIEW MY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE ITEM SET FOR YOURSELF.
I WILL BE SHIPPING THE PRINT FLAT IN FRAME SO THAT NO CURLING WILL EXIST IN THE SAME.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS..............................
