Signed and Hand-Numbered by Walt Disney

Walt Disney. Sketch Book of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. [London]: Collins, [1938].

Presentation copy of the first edition, signed and dated by Walt Disney on a preliminary page and hand-numbered "4" by him on the front flap of the dust jacket. Quarto. Unpaginated. With twelve tipped-in color plates.

Publisher's beige linen with titles on front stamped in black. In original pictorial dust jacket. Minimal shelf wear. Scattered minor foxing to the boards and endpapers. Internal contents bright and clean. Even toning and mild dust-soiling to the panels and spine of the dust jacket, with only moderate wear to the extremities. Three tiny closed tears along the edges. Overall, a very good copy of a truly rare title, signed by Walt Disney.

Purportedly, Disney signed and numbered five copies for presentation at the time of the book's publication. The first two were given to Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. The original owner of this copy sold it at auction in 1998.
