Magnificent vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 photo of Disney seated next to a large bloodhound, boldly signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Fred—All best, Walt.” In very fine condition, with very light feathering to the ink. Accompanied by the embossed Walt Disney Productions business card belonging to the original recipient, Disney animator Fred Kopietz, as well as an unsigned glossy 10 x 8 photo of Kopietz in his Disney Studios office, the walls of which are covered in storyboards and model sheets for the 1967 film The Jungle Book. Kopietz was a distinguished contributor to the Golden Age of animation who worked on Flip the Frog cartoons with Ub Iwerks, Oswald cartoons with Walter Lantz, and animated for over 25 years at Disney. A large and wonderful signed photo of Disney posing with a dog breed featured in many of his classic films—in addition to the canine pose and immense signature, the dedication to a legendary animator makes this a truly remarkable Disney-signed portrait.
