Old Mill, The (RKO, 1937). Australian Daybill (14  X 40 )
Old Mill, The (RKO, 1937). Australian Daybill (14" X 40"). Disney Studios were at the forefront of the art of animation at this time and with this short they introduced the latest technical marvel, the multiplane camera. The invention allowed the camera to look through a series of animation planes instead of just one. The opening shot of this cartoon was layer upon layer of landscape, from reeds in the pond in the foreground to the old mill in the deep background to clouds passing in the sky, etc. This very same device was what was used so effectively this same year in the production of the first full length animated film "Snow White". All early Disney posters are very rare and indeed a poster from this ground breaking cartoon short is rare indeed. This is a lovely Stone Litho daybill from 1937. Very Fine- on Linen. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
