Concept Art Calendar Lithograph 1967
Featuring Walt Disney's
Carousel of Progress
"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow"
Offset lithograph/Calendar Page
Page size: 13 x 16 inches
Created for General Electric
This is a large offset lithograph calendar page from a 1960s era General Electric's corporate calendar. The calendar was a gift to annual shareholders and showed the many uses of GE products in the name of "Progress."
Originally a GE/Disney attraction at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair called Progressland, t
his is a stunning look at the
new Disneyand show building for the newly named
Carousel of Progress
. This scarcely seen image was created for General Electric and captures the dawn of one of Walt Disney's most cherished attractions. It has been written that the World's Fair was not only Disney's chance to try out new ride systems and technologies, but it was also a test run for an East Coast theme park. The success of the Disney attractions at the fair led directly to the creation of WDW in Florida, as well as bringing several exciting new attractions in Disneyland - It's a Small World, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Primeval World...and, of course, the
Carousel of Progress)
.
After a successful run at Disneyland, the hit attraction moved to WDW, where it still operates today.
(This is a single calendar page - image has the previous month on the verso. Please do not bid if this bothers you in any way!)
The lithographic page is from an unused GE calendar that was incomplete when I received it, so I am selling individual pages accordingly, free from any guilt associated with dismembering such a rarity!
