I am the original owner having purchased it in the 1990's directly from Disney representatives who had a booth at a Disney collector show at one of the hotels down the street from Disneyland . It does not have its COA. I have kept the lithograph stored flat in a large acid free folder for the past 25+ years. It is in excellent condition. A really nice looking Mickey lithograph. The lithograph will be shipped rolled and placed in a hard shell tube via USPS. John Hench was a true legend of the Walt Disney Company. Hired by Walt Disney to work on Fantasia, John was employed at the Studio until the early 1950s, when he left to join the creative group Walt was assembling to help him plan and design Disneyland. Hench went on to design many iconic elements for Disney's theme parks, including Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland, Space Mountain, and Spaceship Earth at Epcot. John was also Disney's "official portrait artist" of Mickey Mouse. Because of his resemblance to Walt Disney and his frequent visits to Disneyland, he was often asked to sign autographs and pose for pictures with park visitors who mistook Hench for Disney himself. John was respected by Walt Disney as one of the studio's most gifted artists and the pair had a close friendship. His career with Disney spanned 64 years until his death at the age of 95.
