There are restored corner tack holes and there are some surface smudges and foxing spots. minor edge and corner wear and tiny tears; this rare Disneyland attraction poster should display beautifully once framed.
This vintage poster promotes the Disneyland Hotel, which opened in 1955 as the park’s official hotel. Two inverted triangles connected by pink arrows link a whimsical view of Disneyland at the top (Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Mark Twain riverboat, the Mad Tea Party teacups and the Casey Jr. train) with an aerial view of the hotel’s palm-lined pool, umbrellas and gardens below. The bottom line advertises its restaurant, shops, swimming pool and playground, “open 7 days a week.” In soft pink, blue and green with elegant blackletter type, it’s a charming and less common piece of early Disneyland history, appealing to Disneyana, travel and mid-century design collectors.
