Item Description
First and foremost is the large lithograph which is 23.25x27", a continuous-tone commemorative lithograph honoring Donald Duck's 50th birthday, produced on opalesque paper. This is from the first edition of 345 signed and numbered copies. This is number 306. Signed by Barks at lower right. This is the fourth Barks lithograph produced by Another Rainbow Publishing and issued in 1984. Minor margin wear, most notable are 3 tears to top margin 1/8" to .25" in length with a few small creases at these areas. However, this could be easily hidden if framed and matted and litho would still retain a Mint appearance. Comes with certificate of authenticity with matching edition number as well as the original sales sheet from Another Rainbow. These are Mint. As an added bonus, the litho comes with "The Life Of Donald Duck" boxed edition reprint book by Applewood. This includes a facsimile of the 1941 book, CD with Carl Barks and Donald Duck "A Special Anniversary Fireside Chat," greeting card by Carl Barks. Also, the consignor was able to get Carl Barks to sign the first inside blank page. Nice bold black ink signature. Litho is being offered at a very reasonable opening taking into consideration the minor defects. Comes with Hake's COA.
