The Mayflower Production Gouache Title Card Illustration From Terrytoons/Castle Films 1950s Framed

TerryToons 1950s
Original Production Gouache Title Card Illustration for a Re-issue Opening
for "The Mayflower" with Puddy the Pup

Framed, with a Charles Scott Gallery Certificate of Authenticity

Puddy the Pup is front and center in this original painted illustration, which was used (with added lettering) in a reissue print for the opening of the 1935 Paul Terry/Frank Moser-directed short, "The Mayflower." The cartoon was a full on parody of the landing of the Mayflower and the interaction between the Pilgrims and the native AMerican's (who try to sell peanuts and hot dogs to the new settlers); this Castle Films version can be found on YouTube. The art is painted by a Paul Terry Studio staff artist, in gouache, and matted with an opening size of 14" x 10". It is framed under Plexiglas for an overall size of 20.5" x 18". Very Good condition. Frame has some scuffs, etc. from age.

We present this only as an artifact of the times, and apologize for the imagery of Native American's at the time. It does not reflect our views.
