In 1998-1999,the Disney Gallery released a special limited edition (150 prints) set oflithographs celebrating the Carosel of Progress. It consisted of Act I and ActII by Sam McKim, Act III by John Hench, and Act IV by Collin Campbell, AND itcame with a bonus print of the sheet music of the It’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrowtheme song. Illustrated by Sam McKim.
I had theprivilege of meeting Mr Sherman at the gallery at that time. He could not havebeen a more gracious man.
I sold the four“Act” prints a long time ago, but the sheet music and this specific song alwayshad a special place in my heart, but now it is time to part with it as well…
This print hasbeen displayed framed in a non smoking, non pet home. Nevertheless, there is a slightshadow around the perimeter where the frame edge was. If you re-frame – this willnot be visible. The rest of the print is clean – but not 100% brand newcondition – please look at the photos. Sold as is.
The Disney galleryembossed imprint is still in good shape.
* I will also includethe bill of sale from the gallery to prove provenance.
My reserve price is $250.00
