Item Description
Aged 13.2517.25" sheet of paper has nicely illustrated mixed media original art for amusement park ride concept incorporating Disney and Fleischer Studios characters like Mickey Mouse (who is featured most prominently), Betty Boop and Popeye as well as one who appears to be Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp character. Spain, 1930s. Upper left has inkstamp that reads/translates to "José Martí - Valencia - Painter, Decorator - Lampposts, Labels." This appears to have been a company of the era dedicated to making title, decorations, painting, etc. Artist signature at lower right. Paper has even moderate aging and has been folded into eighths w/obvious wear along fold lines. VG overall, but a very interesting and well thought out design utilizing some of the most popular characters of the 1930s.
