Despite being one of the best known personalities of the last century and the founder of the most successful entertainment company in history, Walt Disney's signature is exceedingly rare today—particularly on the medium of photographs. The reason for this is that for several decades Disney routinely had his animators sign his mail, and also had them sign most photographs and animation cels for him as well. The offered black and white publicity portrait is a rare exception as it has been personally signed by him. Boldly penned in his trademark flowing style, the photograph is signed & personalized by the most famous animator of all time.Disney has accomplished the signature in a rich black art marker, and the signature spans seven inches across—nearly the entire width of the photograph! Well preserved for it’s 45+ years of existence, this photograph stands in excellent condition. Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear to the frame.
