Earle, Eyvind

Publication: Los Angeles: Robert Bane, 1991. First Edition.

Notes: A deluxe edition of this comprehensive survey of the one-time Disney animators fine-art prints, each reproduced in full color, with a text by Earle on the facing page.

Earle designed the Academy Award-winning short animated film Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Book. His work on the backgrounds of Sleeping Beauty gave that film its mythic, timeless look, a style that carried through to many of his screenprints.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A fine copy but for a few nicks to the gilt edges, bound in padded black leatherette covers, with a matching fine slipcase. No jacket, as issued. This is HC copy 18/60 signed by the artist. The original shipping box is present, somewhat tanned but fully intact.
