Ed Dunn Wedding Gift Gag Drawing - ID: jandisneyana22014

An original gag drawing created as a gift to Milt Banta in commemoration of his wedding in 1943. Milt joined Disney Studio in the early 1940s as an assistant animator before becoming a writer. He is credited on several shorts as well as Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Sleeping Beauty, as well as several Golden Books in the early 1950s. This particular drawing was created by a Disney Studios coworker of Milt’s named Ed Dunn, as it was a tradition in the studio for the artists to draw and share caricatures of the other animators. Measuring 12.5”x15.25” overall, with the image area measuring 9.5”x12.5”, the drawing is in fine condition with minimal edge wear, including a crease on the top left corner, and light peg hole damage.
