From 1934 to the late 1940s, Walt Disney Studios produced a full-color page for Good Housekeeping magazine featuring the famous Disney characters (Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto and others).

The Alexander Gallery in New York City exhibited 65 of the surviving original watercolors for their Christmas 1987 show.

This elaborate clothbound hardcover exhibition catalogue was the very first collection of these beautiful painted pages. All reproduced in color from the original art. With an introduction by Eva Peltz.

These 65 examples, dating from 1938 to 1944, are by artists Tom Wood and Hank Porter.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
