AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and fascinating editorial trophy from Walt Disney, published by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore in 1955.
"The Briefcase of Wonders" gathers six illustrated volumes belonging to the famous cheerful symphonies series, kept in their original editorial briefcase:
– Alice in Wonderland
– Bambi
– Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
– Cinderella
– The Three Caballeros
– Peter Pan
The volumes feature the special cover illustrations created specifically for this edition and numerous internal illustrations, both black-and-white and in color. The briefcase measures about 26 × 21.5 × 7 cm.
The collection is complete with the six titles planned. The volumes are in generally good condition considering their age: the covers show yellowing, light stains, abrasions, and normal signs of use; the spines are legible and show some wear. The interiors are generally well preserved, with pages naturally yellowed at the margins and illustrations still sharp and with vivid colors. The staples occasionally show a slight central opening, without significant detachment visible.
The original briefcase is in fair condition and shows more pronounced signs of age: wear and fraying along the edges, abrasions, small losses of the surface covering, and damage around the handle attachments. One illustrated side of the briefcase keeps colors still pleasing; the opposite side shows more evident losses of the printed surface.
All defects are documented in detail in the photographs, which are an integral part of the description.
A rare Italian Disney set from the Fifties, particularly interesting for Disneyana collectors, illustrated publishing, and Mondadori publications of the era.
