Bongo the Bear Dye Transfer Print with Walt Disney Signed Mat (c.1960s) - ID: jul24187

A dye transfer print from the Disney Studios animated package film "Fun and Fancy Free" (1947). Featuring an adorable image of Bongo the Bear and Luluebelle from the "Bongo the Bear" sequence, the high-quality dye transfer was created at the studio in the 1960s and either given as a gift or sold through the Disneyland Art Corner. Remarkably, this transfer in particular has been signed on the mat by Walt Disney himself with the personalized dedication, "To Annette de Lattre with best wishes Walt Disney." Measuring 16"x17" framed with a 7.25"x9.25" mat opening, and the character image measuring 2.25"x6.5", the piece is in good condition with age-related staining, discoloration and marks throughout, a tear towards the bottom right corner of the print, slight fading to Walt's signature, and general wear to the frame. The piece retains the original studio certificate label for the print, which has a tear.
