[THE MOUSE AND THE LION]

Hand-drawn animation strip book. Graphite. Twenty-five stapled leaves with a drawing to the recto of each. Very good condition with old staple holes to the top edge, an old punch hole to the lower left corner, the first and last page loose, and minor wear to the extremities. The drawings remain clean and bright.

An accomplished series of characterful drawings, similar to the style of Disney, from the early days of British animation. Produced by a professional illustrator, they depict the evolving friendship of a mouse and a lion.
