Item Description
Large and impressive 18.25x28.75" artboard has mixed media production original artwork used for Jaymar puzzle, the first boxed version issued in the 1940s (other boxed/frame tray puzzles followed in later years). Wonderful art depicts Grasshopper relaxing and playing his fiddle and the ants toil away preparing food for winter. Of particular note, a group of ants can bee seen sawing a large carrot as if it were a felled tree. Lower right has area of staining from original title paste-over (which is missing), but this blends somewhat and is not distracting. Margins have some trace wear. As is, majority of art remains bright and clean. If framed, art would display Exc. All vintage Walt Disney original art for products and merchandising is very rare, and this is a particularly nice example.
