(Disney, 1963/Created Later) An It's a Small World presentation musical arrangement with lyrics handwritten by Richard M. Sherman and signed by both Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman. Accomplished in black felt pen on printed staff paper marked for the violin, the Oscar-winning songwriter has hand-titled the composition, signed on the credit line, and handwritten musical notation and lyrics for the legendary anthem of global unity. Robert B. Sherman, the song's co-author, has additionally signed the credit line. The Sherman Brothers originally wrote the song for the Disney attraction of the same name, which was created for the Pepsi Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair and subsequently moved to Disneyland. Since then, It's a Small World has become the most performed and translated song in the history of popular music. The arrangement is matted in the center of an elaborate display with a photograph of Walt Disney with the Small World audio-animatronic dolls on the left, and a photograph of the Sherman Brothers together at a piano on the right, above a metal plaque engraved, "'it's a small world' handwritten music and lyrics by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman." The handwritten arrangement measures 13.5"x10.5" visible through a 27.5" x 46" bubble texture molded wood frame and appears to be in fine condition with a few correction fluid redactions by its creator. The back of the frame is also inscribed and signed by Richard M. Sherman in black felt pen, "To Eva – A very special lady with my fondest best wishes Richard M. Sherman 09/09/00." This piece was offered directly by Disney at the Official Disneyana Convention of 2000, and includes the original Disney COA.
