Disneyland "45 Years of Magic" Signed Map Fine Art Lithographs Group of Two (Walt Disney, c. 2000). On July 17th, 2000, the world's first Theme Park celebrated its 45th birthday. In the years since it's unprecedented opening in 1955, more than four-hundred million enthusiastic guests have walked down Main Street USA in Disneyland. From adventures in a pirate's cave, to a speedy bobsled ride on the Matterhorn, thousands of families from all over the world have encountered an experience only available at Disneyland. In celebration of the event Disney released a series of map paintings originally used by Walt to sell the idea of a Theme Park to the bank. These maps were the creation of Disney greats: Peter Ellenshaw (1913 – 2007), John Hench (1908 – 2004), Sam McKim (1924 – 2004), Blaine Gibson (1918 – 2015), Nina Rae Vaughn, and Tony Baxter who have all hand-signed the piece. The three maps have been embossed with Disneyland's logo and measures about 12" x 9.5" all in one frame of 46" x 19". Included is a second map by Disney Legend Inductee Peter Ellenshaw. This map measures about 18" x 11". The map is matted to 24" x 16" and is hand-signed by Ellenshaw. Frame and matboard are sold as-is. Maps are in Fine condition.
