Mickey Mouse Stock Poster (United Artists, 1935). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and voiced by Walt Disney himself, Mickey Mouse brought its creator to the attention of the world and helped established Disney's reputation as a creative genius. "Born" on November 18, 1928, the release date of Steamboat Willie, the anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from a simple character in animated cartoons and comic strips to one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. United Artists picked up the Disney franchise when Columbia dropped him in 1932 and this rare stock sheet was probably the first to be distributed by the studio's new distributor. This incredibly rare poster (later incarnations boasted a bold "Technicolor!" title at the top) had corner pinholes, the left and right border was trimmed by 1/2", as well as touch-up to staining in the yellow field and on the name "Walt Disney." There was restorative work done to boost colors on parts of the image. The poster now displays magnificently. Fine- on Linen.
