Preliminary Drawing for Donald's Elephant Good Housekeeping page, 1940

This drawing is very similar to the third image on the Donald's Elephant Good Housekeeping page. But the drawing shows Donald in a different position.

When this drawing was sold at auction in June 2023, when I bought publicity drawings from Mickey's Elephant and Mickey's Parrot, I agreed not to bid on it in favor of a friend who was interested in it. He recently agreed to sell it to me.

Donald had a few animals as pets, albeit fewer than Mickey had in the 1940s. Donald's included an ostrich, a penguin, and this elephant.
