(Disney, 1940) A one-of-a-kind hand-drawn book made by the Disney Studio Ink & Paint Department. Marjorie Ralston was the first female to voice Minnie Mouse, after Walt Disney, and worked her way up to head inker. While she was recovering from appendix surgery, her coworkers assembled this “Get Well” book of 35 original production drawings from films including “Fantasia,” “Donald's Nephews,” “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and “Pinocchio”, with added text and drawing for comic effect. The Dwarfs are removing and playing with Ralston’s appendix, and Figaro uses it to go fishing. Loose from the cover is a “sick Bashful” color model cel created for this book. Measuring 10” x 12”, the incredible book displays in good to very good condition with creases, edge wear, stains, tears on the cover, and discoloration from age. Bashful has an image size of 3.5” x 5.5” on a 4.5” x 6” trimmed cel. The cel displays in fair condition with heavy paint loss, cracks, stains, and wear from production use.
