Fantasia Boxed Lithograph Portfolio Disney Concept Art 50 Images LE 352/500 Mickey Mouse

by
We’re selling some very special pieces of Disney memorabilia, fresh from a serious collector with a great eye! Highlight of the collection is this FANTASIA BOXED LITHOGRAPH PORTFOLIO #352/500. This special boxed set has long ago sold-out and is extremely hard to find, if at all! It initially was introduced for $1800.

Our set is in new condition in terms of the prints which are pristine and mint. The outer box has a few imperfections (water spots) from storage as shown in photos but nothing that detracts from the magnificent art inside.  Save as a reference library or frame your favorites or even ALL of the 22 lithographs for a stunning wall of art. Each piece is numbered with the 352/500 on lower left and measures 20″ x 16″.
DETAILS:

  • On, November 13, 1940, Walt Disney’s FANTASIA premiered at the Broadway Theater in New York. To celebrate the film’s re-release in 1990 for its 50th anniversary, the Disney Art Program created this boxed portfolio of 50 images of conceptual art that inspired Walt and his artists during the making of this animated masterpiece. 
  • The portfolio was designed and its production supervised by Patrick Dooley. Mr. Dooley also worked with David Cleghorn and Esther Ewert with research and review of the film’s original artwork to select images representing each of FANTASIA’s eight major movements.
  • The pieces in this collection, reproduced by Gardner Lithograph in Buena Park, California, were printed on Mohawk Superfine 80-lb. cover in four-color process and duotone. The prints are faithful reproductions of the original art. 
  • Each of the 50 images were reproduced on 22 lithographs. They are placed in protective folders with an introductory essay and narrative explaining the scene, artist and original medium.
  • The portfolio box is covered with Iris bookcloth and stamped in 23-karet gold foil, handcrafted with the highest quality acid-free materials. This collection can be enjoyed for generations to come as it is truly a work of art. 

The FANTASIA Boxed Lithograph Portfolio has been produced in an edition of only 500; you are purchasing number 352/500, authenticity certificate on first page.  Take a look at some of our other Disney memorabilia in our eBay Store Connectibles.

by
Disney Joker's Wild
Batman Jokers Wild

Until you see this in person, it’s hard to convey how special it is!  Batman Jokers Wild.

Called an “Animated Animations” – 3 Dimensional cel lights up, talks and moves, similar to the antique automata clockwork pieces. Batman, Robin, Harley Quinn, the Joker – even the Batmobile! They move and talk, lights come on and off – whatever you call this, I call it GREAT fun!
These are no longer under warranty as the company is long out of business, and have complicated gears. We can only confirm it is in working condition at this time as you see in video.  We have no way of knowing how long it will work, so please purchase with the basic understanding that you are collecting this as a stationary work of art that currently DOES show action but may stop working.

  • Batman The Joker’s wild, limited edition issue of 1017/9500
  • Lights, camera, action!
  • Signed COA
  • Battery operated (4 included), watch video to see in action.
  • Switch on the side.
  • 17″ x 19″, ready to hang, substantial weight.

Delightful work of art to hang on the wall but when you turn it out, the young AND the young at heart will be transformed!

Howard Finster Rare Signed Art of Mickey Mouse In Kid’s World Print Disney REM

by

MickeyWe are delighted to be offering a rare signed print by Howard Finster (1916-2001), a popular American outsider artist and Baptist minister.  First known for his collaborative work for the rock band R.E.M, his whimsical designs and his biography are fascinating.

Titled “Howard Finster Puts Mickey Mouse In a Kid’s World“, Finster was one of many contemporary artists who were asked to design a work of art commemorating iconic Mickey Mouse.  The original work of the artists were published in a book “The Art Of Mickey Mouse.” mickey2

This print is one of approx 50 ONLY rare prints that were personally hand signed by the artist on Mickey’s foot while he was at the Walt Disney Art Gallery; not to be confused with the larger run of unsigned prints that are more readily available. 

Highest quality photo-lithograph on heavy paper. 

22″ x 24″ 

Condition is excellent with only a few small areas with very mild creases that were hard to show in photos due to the extremely detailed whimsical design that makes it nearly impossible see any issues. Take a look at the photo of the back to see the areas.

I could find only one other for sale on the internet for $2500, mint. We are offering ours at a fraction of that price. 

Finster’s works is getting more and more recognition since his death in 2001; here’s a charming example of both HIS unique vision and beloved iconic Mickey!  This and many other Disney collectibles are available in our eBay Store Connectibles.

Marx Disney Carry All Dollhouse Playset NEW in orig Box, Furniture, People RARE

by

 I know the term “rare” is over-used, but this set deserves it! Pictured here is a never used or played with Disney “Carry-All Doll House Take-a-long Toy” by Marx, 1950’s. Tin litho house has classic Disney graphics; plastic people, furniture and vehicle complete the set, Marx style 49-94029.

Once assembled, the house has a handle on top and can be carried around as shown on box.

Disney DollhouseThe tin dollhouse is still flat inside the box as it was packed originally; tabs are therefore perfect as is the metal with no scratches or marks.

  • There was “nibbling” wherever this was stored however, and the box has the damage as shown and the instruction sheet is missing sections and is very, very fragile.  Still good to have, but difficult to read parts. I think assembly is quite straight-forward however, as there are not that many Disney Dollhouse2parts to assemble.
  • Regardless of the condition of the box, the toy itself is outstanding!
  • Complete with furniture and figures and even a car for Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald and friends.  The only item that time otherwise affected were the little foam mattresses for the beds; they had disintegrated which is common among toys from that era. The foil on the mirror is intact and on the dresser.  This, any many other vintage toys, can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
