1937 Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse

Description

Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

First published in 1935, this is an early edition of this scarce work, produced only two years later.

With the inscriptions 'Tendlar' and 'Tendlar's' to the front wrap. This was the copy of prominent 20th century animator David Tendlar, who joined Fleischer Studio in 1931 where he worked on Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor, and many other shorts, as well as Fleischer's two feature-length animated films. He continued to have a successfull career, animating also at Terrytoons, Filmation and Hanna-Barbera, although never at Disney.

This charming work accompanies a number of the tales in Disney's 'Silly Symphonies' series of animations with charming colour illustrations, including for 'The Robber Kitten', 'Donald and Pluto' and 'Mickey's Fire Brigade'.

A 'linen-like finish', No. 973 from Walt Disney Enterprises.
