Quick Draw McGraw Production Animation Art Cel and Wally Gator Background Overlay Cel Hanna Barbera 1959-61
QUICK DRAW MCGRAW, 1959-1961
Original Production Animation Cel (trimmed)
and Background Overlay Cel from WALLY GATOR (see description below)
from Hanna Barbera
Matted and ready to frame, with a Charles Scott Gallery Certificate of Authenticity
This lot is EXTREMELY rare. We've had only a handful of these from the original show, over the decades. We have a trimmed cel of Quick Draw McGraw himself (the trimmed cel measures approx. 5 1/8" x 6 1/4" though it is cut slightly unevenly). It has been taped down to a production background overlay cel that has a hand-painted/drawn paper and paint background piece on it (it has "OL28 U29" on it). The background overlay is from Wally Gator, "Rebel Rabble" episode from 1963 and we've shown a screen capture from that usage. The background overlay cel is a standard 10.5" x 12.5" but the Trading post hangs over and additional 3/8" on the left side.
The cels all have wear, dirt, slight waviness, etc. from being 60+ years old. But make no mistake - this one will not come around again.
We will mount this gorgeous piece of art in an acid-free, 4-ply paper mat that measures 11" x 14" - so you can just buy your own frame and hang it in your home gallery. We only use archival/acid-free materials in mounting your artwork. NOTE: in most cases we have not yet mounted the art in a mat, so if you wish to have us leave it unmounted let us know IMMEDIATELY when you make the purchase, as we will often mat it within minutes.
