Description
NEAR MINT/MINT BEAUTY:
DISNEY 1960's "LUDWIG VON DRAKE" CEL SET.
THE ACETATE SUBSTRATE SHEET IS ALSO NEAR PERFECT.
THE CEL WAS USED IN AN EPISODE OF "WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" WHICH AIRED ON NBC BEGINNING IN 1961. MY BEST GUESS FOR THIS CEL WOULD HAVE BEEN DURING THE TIME FRAME OF 1961 TO 1963.
NBC WAS THE ONLY NETWORK AT THAT TIME THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE SHOW IN FULL COLOR. THIS SHOW WAS ONE OF THE EARLIEST TELEVISION SHOWS TO BE BROADCAST IN COLOR.
ON THE VERY FIRST SHOW IN 1961, VON DRAKE APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EXPLAINED THE PRINCIPLES OF COLOR ITSELF. THROUGHOUT THE SHOW'S RUN, VON DRAKE WAS PRIMARILY A HOST.
THE MEDIUM IS GOUACHE ON "UNTRIMMED" CELLULOID SHEET.
IT IS VERY "COOL" TO HAVE A TOTALLY UNTRIMMED CEL SHEET AS MOST ARE TRIMMED.
THE UNTRIMMED FORMAT GIVES YOU ADDITIONAL SPECIAL FEATURES SUCH AS:
1) BOTTOM PUNCHED HOLES FOR BINDER FILING(2 OVAL PUNCHES AND 1 ROUND PUNCH TO FIT 2 TYPES OF STORAGE BINDERS THAT WERE USED IN THE DAY).
2) THE STUDIO DESIGNATION NUMBER(325) IN THIS EXAMPLE) BEING HAND WRITTEN USING A BLACK GREASE PEN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SHEET. THE NUMBER WAS USED TO DESIGNATE THE POSITIONING OF THE SCENE IN THE SHOWS IMAGE POSITION SEQUENCE.
THE UNTRIMMED CELLULOID SHEET MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 15” X 12 ½”.
THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE IMAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 4 1/2” X 5”(THE PORTION OF THE IMAGE THAT WAS USED IN THE SCENE FOR THE TV SHOW IS ABOVE WHERE THE ARTIST INSERTED A HORIZONTAL LINE). IT IS UNUSUAL THAT THE ANIMATORS WOULD PAINT MORE THAN WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE SLOT IN THE SHOW BEING PRODUCED MAKING THIS A VERY UNIQUE FEATURE.
THIS ORIGINAL HAND-INKED AND PAINTED ANIMATION CEL OF LUDWIG WAS CREATED IN THE DISNEY INK-AND-PAINT DEPARTMENT AND PHOTOGRAPHED DURING THE MAKING OF AN ANIMATED SHORT FEATURE IN THE 1960'S AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WITH A GOLD FOILED RIBBON ATTACHED TO THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER IS INCLUDED.
THE FOLLOWING BLACK GHOST PRINT CAN BE FOUND INSIDE THE GOLD LABEL AND IS VISIBLE FROM A PROPER ANGLE OF VIEWING THE SAME JUST RIGHT CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:
A FIGURAL IMAGE OF MICKEY MOUSE
WALT DISNEY
