A Vintage signed and inscribed 10"13" photo by Walt Disney circa 1940. Gelatin silver photograph. Inscribed in ink, ”To Mary Neilson from Walt Disney” on the shoulder of his checked coat. The photograph features a young, energetic-looking Walt Disney, in the prime of life and his animation career. Creases at corners and along right edge, cracking the emulsion in a few places, an unobtrusive crease on Disney's nose; very good.
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. 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 as some of the greatest films ever by the American Film Institute.
