This is the Largest uninscribed Disney Signature we have ever seen. This was once housed in an Album of a famous Les Ambassadeurs Club Restaurant & Club from the 40's-60's owned by John Mills. Can not find a larger Dinsey signature, although it is a few shades light. This was signed in the early 1950s.
The Les Ambassadeurs Club (popularly known as "Les A") is a club and casino located at 5 Hamilton Place in Mayfair, London.
It was established in Hanover Square in 1941 by John Mills, and has had several owners since Mills’s sale of the club in 1981. The club moved to Hamilton Place in 1950. The Le Cercle casino was established at the club in 1961. The Milroy and Garrison nightclubs have also been based at 5 Hamilton Place. The club was portrayed in the inaugural James Bond film Dr. No and scenes from The Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night were filmed at the club.
Walt Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American animator, film producer, and entrepreneur. A pioneer of the American animation industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, he holds the record for most Academy Awards earned and nominations by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and have also been named some of the greatest films ever by the American Film Institute. Disney was the first person to be nominated for Academy Awards in six different categories.
