Walt Disney Autographed "BAMBI" Book
"BAMBI" still
stands today as a landmark achievement in animated motion pictures.
Here I am pleased to offer this 1941 Simon and Schuster picture book autographed by Walt
Disney. Walt Disney has signed this book with one of the
largest of his signatures I've seen in 20 years-- a huge six and a quarter
inch long signature. Always the artist, Walt chose green crayon to
compliment the colors used on the book's cover. The book is
especially desirable because it is un-inscribed (Walt has not written
"To Bob" for example). It's pages are illustrated with the famous scenes we all remember from
childhood.
1940's Disney
Autographs are Uncommon!
Walt Disney first hosted his Sunday night TV show in
1954 and only then became instantly recognizable. That is why the
majority of Walt Disney autographed items date from the 1950's and
1960's. Requests for autographs were fewer before Disney's TV
appearances, and so signed photographs from the 1940's are more
rare and valuable. Also, Walt Disney used two styles of signature
throughout his life;
cursive style for letters, documents, and most of his autographs for fans,
and also his trademark Roman block-printed autograph, similar to the famous
Disney company logotype. Because it was slower to sign, Walt used the
block signature less frequently, and today genuine examples are much more rare than his cursive
signature.
