1957 DISNEY'S ROY WILLIAMS ~ Original Drawing, GOOFY + Mouseketeers Photograph

Description

1957 Roy Williams Disneyland Original Artwork ~ GOOFY
+ Micky Mouse Club Group Photograph
I have been selling Disneyana for twenty years and this is a first.  Great, great, great!
This is an original drawing of Goofy, done at the Disneyland Art Corner, by Disney legend Roy Williams.  He created this sketch with charcoal for a guest of the theme park.

See below for additional information about Mr. Williams.
)  Also included is a card stock photo of the Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers.
I can date this to 1957 as I have, in a separate auction, a FANTASYLAND pre-printed letter that was mailed in 1957 and this was included at that time.  (I am listing both items separately for different collector interests.)  The photograph card has a horizontal crease separating Jimmy Dodd & Roy Williams from Annette & Co.  The drawing was folded twice, but in very good condition.  Overall condition of this archive is very good.
Roy Williams
(July 30, 1907 – November 7, 1976) was an artist and entertainer for The Walt Disney Studios, best known as "Big Roy," the adult Mouseketeer for four seasons on the
Mickey Mouse Club
television series.
Williams was born in Colville, Washington and raised in Los Angeles, where he attended Fremont High School. After graduating, he was hired as an artist by Walt Disney in 1930. He worked on animated shorts while attending Chouinard Art Institute at night. He later also developed story ideas for Disney. He also designed over 100 insignias for the U.S. armed forces during World War II, and is credited with designing the mouse ears worn on the
Mickey Mouse Club
.
