Original 1928 "Steam Boat Willie" Production Used Animation Cel

Description: This original 1928 production used animation cel featuring Ub Iwerks' classic cartoon, "Steam Boat Willie," is a one-of-a-kind piece of Disney history. Measuring 9.5 inches in height and 12 inches in width, this medium-sized drawing on paper and pencil is a must-have for any Disneyana or art collector. Its Art Deco period and California, USA region of origin, this handmade drawing is a perfect addition to any collection. The cel captures the essence of the beloved character, Minnie Mouse, and her humorous adventures, in a style that is both unique, and timeless. This original, one of a kind piece of not only Disneyana history, but Cinema history, is highly sought after, and exceedingly rare. Ub Iwerks, the original inventor and designer of both Mickey and Minnie Mouse, hand drew the entire "Steam Boat Willie" cartoon in his own hand, which furthermore adds to the rarity, desirability, and value, of this animation cel. So few authentic cartoons from this period exist, and are mainly held in private collections around the world, not for sale! This artwork comes with a COA from the prestigious and #1 Disneyana authenticator, Van Eaton, and is sure to be a conversation starter, and a prized possession, for years to come. The two included COA's are meant to display with the piece, and can give further information on this early, and most recognizable Disney art! I've also included a reference, to the last known Minnie Mouse, that the COA is referencing. The pieces are ultra rare, highly sought after, and therefor, extremely valuable. Of course, you are also saving the 25% auction fees, that you need not pay, otherwise known as "buyer premiums". Happy Bidding, Friends!
