^Lot 24 An Early Carl Stalling Portrait.

(Stalling, 1918-1919) A photographic portrait of legendary composer Carl Stalling. The prolific animation composer scored cartoons from Disney's "The Skeleton Dance" to hundreds of Looney Tunes shorts, working closely with Bob Clampett. Taken before 1920, this predates Stalling’s first meeting with Walt Disney, and his work in animation. The photo has “Carl W. Stalling” written on the back, and a small stamp on the front for the photographer, Milton Waid. Measuring 3.75” x 6”, the photo is in good condition with creases, expected toning, and paper loss on the reverse (from mounting).
