Lot Description
[DISNEYLAND]. KENT, Ralph (1939-2007). Double-printed Tomorrowland near-attraction poster. 1966.
Broadside poster (30 x 22 in.) of the original Moonliner rocket at Disneyland (pinholes, very light abrasions, some minor creases at margins). Provenance: Acquired Profiles in History, 29 July 2016, sale 83 lot 715.
The first Tomorrowland attraction opened at Disneyland on 17 July 1955, and was meant to represent the world as Disney Imagineers believed it would look thirty years in the future. This poster is from a series of six offered for sale at the Main Street Emporium only during the summer of 1966; within a year the attraction would be completely rebuilt. According to online records, this poster is the only one displaying this unique double-printing error found to have come to market.
