This week is a special Tokyo Disneyland week on Disney and more! After the first part of Tokyo Disneyland Halloween season on monday - and part two coming tomorrow, the artwork article of the week, so, is dedicated to TDL. Don't forget to double-click on each picture to enjoy them in big high-res size.

ReplyDeleteAbout 30 years ago a friend of mine, who was a career Disney back-ground painter and has since died, gave me this. At the top is printed "The Disney Gallery" and at the bottom center "Tokyo Disneyland", bottom right "Snow White Grotto John Hench c.1960 Watercolor and Ink on Brownline.", and handwritten at the bottom left is "Snow White Grotto Or Wishing Pool With Echo Falls" and signed "John Hench 94" Excellent condition. Framed & UV Filter Glass. It is valuable to me because of the sentimental aspect and I like it - any idea of what the approximate market value might be ?
