The Riveter (RKO, 1940)....

Description

The Riveter (RKO, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41"). By 1937, the ill-tempered Donald Duck's popularity had surpassed that of the model citizen, Mickey Mouse and Disney began to pour more time and money into producing the Duck's starring shorts. This short was one of his most popular at the time and remains a classic cartoon. Directed by Dick Lundy, one of the studio's top animators and directors, he is the artist credited with creating Donald's screen personality. This wonderful perspective drawing of Donald atop a skyscraper in progress, shows him confronting the bigger bully, whom he always seemed to disturb. These graphics makes this one of the top Duck posters of the era and one the greatest of any Disney poster. This sheet is a very rare poster to find. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
