Description

Donald Duck in The Riveter (RKO, 1940). Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41").
By 1937, the ill-tempered Donald Duck's popularity had surpassed that of the model citizen, Mickey Mouse, and Walt 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 Pegleg Pete, whom he always seemed to disturb. These graphics make this one of the top Duck posters of the era and one the greatest of any Disney poster. A highly coveted and elusive find, this one sheet has also had the benefit of professional restoration to address fold wear and a tear on the right side. Bright, saturated color! From the Ralph DeLuca Collection.
