Early Flintstones' Animation Artwork . . .

FRED FLINTSTONE
Original Cel & Background

with Hanna-Barbera Seal of Authenticity,
plus ASIFA-Hollywood Authentic Cel Seal

Classic Fred Flintstone image hand-painted on animation cel mounted on original hand-painted background, with two separate seals of authenticity (one seal from Hanna-Barbera and the other from ASIFA). See the third scan for the locations of the seals on this animation artwork. Reasonable offers will be considered.

The Hanna-Berbera seal embossed on the cel, reads: "ORIGINAL HAND-PAINTED CELL / HB / HANNA-BARBERA PROD., INC." This embossed seal is an older style of the "H-B Box" logo and not one of the newer ones seen on later Hanna-Barbera artwork.

The ASIFA-Hollywood seal is printed on the cel and reads: "AUTHENTIC / ASIFA / Hollywood / ANIMATION CEL". ASIFA-Hollywood was founded in 1957, by Bill Scott, Stephen Bosustow, Ward Kimball, William T. Hurtz, Les Goldman, and Bill Littlejohn, and later chartered by UNESCO in 1960. June Foray was another early member, and recalled that she joined "a year or so" after the organization was chartered. ASIFA stands for the "Association Internationale du Film d'Animation" or "ASIFA" (the International Animated Film Association), which now has more than 30 branches across the world.

The cel on background is 11½ x 9¼ inches. Fred Flintstone's image is approximately 5 x 6 inches. Scans are of the actual animation artwork being offered. Note: there are two minor tears in the cel not affecting the Fred Flintstone image or either of the two seals, see the last two scans.
