Poster Day II

Walt Disney saw an excellent opportunity to showcase his company's talents by participating in the '64-'65 New York Worlds Fair. An excellent documentary, first shown on the weekly Disney show, and later available in a boxed DVD set, detailed his involvement in four key exhibits.

While viewing this documentary, entitled Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair, I noticed two large Worlds Fair posters displayed behind Walt as he did the introduction to the segment. Several years ago, I had purchased the blue NYWF poster at the Queens Museum shop located at the former fairground. The other poster, however, I had never seen before. Since I had a keen interest in this stuff (and could not find an original poster for sale), I created a copy of it using Adobe Illustrator. For your viewing pleasure, here is a still from the Disney show, along with the two posters that were displayed in Walt's office.
