DescriptionGorgeous handdrawn get-well-card by Al Taliaferro (Taliaferro started at Disney in 1931 in the animation department, but was soon transferred to the comic strip department, where he inked Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse dailies and then worked on the Silly Symphonies sundays. In the mid 1930’s he was responsible for most of the Donald Duck related comic strips, which led to him doing the Donald Duck dailies (1938-1967) & sundays (1936-37 & 1939-1969)) for Manuel Gonzales (one of the most proliferate Disney artists from 1936-1981, first working in the Animation department as an inbetweener, then in the publicity department until he took over the Mickey Mouse Sunday strip in late 1938 until his retirement in 1981). I have never seen a hand-colored Taliaferro original from this period, so this is a little treasure indeed…pencil & ink with watercolors on paperstock.From the collection/estate of Manuel Gonzales (1913-1993).

Great piece and well preserved! It must have meant a lot to Gonzales to keep it in such great shape!
