Winnie the Pooh was created by A. A. Milne, with his first book published in 1926. To celebrate his 80th anniversary, Disney proposed a book to be titled Disney's Winnie the Pooh - 80 Years of Friendship and Adventure.
Disney Legend Carson Van Osten (1945 - 2015) drew several preliminary designs to be considered.
From Carson's personal files, this a beautifully hand-drawn cover idea; in graphite on onionskin paper, has great eye appeal.
Image size is 8" x 7"
In addition, there is one 10"x8.5" photostat page, plus a blank sheet with the book's title masthead, as issued by Disney to the artists involved.
Very Good to Fine condition.
