(Disneyland, 1956) A rare original hand-silkscreened poster for the Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland designed by Imagineer Bjorn Aronson. With its vibrant colors and stylized rendering of Monstro the whale, this is one of the most visually arresting attraction posters ever produced. Measuring 54"x36", the poster has been linen backed for its preservation and is in good condition. Prior to restoration, the poster had been folded horizontally at the top, toward the bottom of the Storybook Land titles, and across the lower half, just above the image of the boat. Touch-up was applied to the resulting creases, and paint restoration to tears and creases throughout, most notable at upper left, upper right, in the titles, lower left, and lower right. Over time, hairline cracks have developed in the applied paint along the edges of the piece. There are also unrestored scuffs and creases in the region of Monstro's face. While these issues are evident upon close examination, they do not hugely detract from the overall appearance of the piece and would hardly be noticeable if it were framed.
