Warner Bros. Animation Art: The Characters - The Creators - The Limited Editions

(n.p.): WB Worldwide Publishing / Beaux Arts Editions. Fine. (c.1997). First Edition. Hardcover. (pictorial boards; no dust jacket, as issued) [a beautiful, as-new copy, with clear acetate(?) faux-cel inset in front cover, depicting Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Tweety, and Porky Pig]. (color and B&W photos, art reproductions, etc.) Fabulously-produced illustrated survey of Warner Bros. animation -- from the classic Looney Tunes era through more modern productions such as the "Tiny Toons" and "Batman" TV series of the 1990s -- although in the end it's somewhat less about the cartoons and their creators than about the retrospectively-created artwork generated to fuel the collectibles market. (Not that there's anything wrong with that....) Includes an illustrated "Catalogue Raisonné of Warner Bros. Limited Edition Animation Art," with publication details (including edition size) on approximately 500 limited-edition cels issued from 1977 through 1996. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy oversize book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
