Description

Disney attraction posters have been an important means of communication since Disneyland began displaying them in 1956. Not only are they eye-catching pieces of artwork that adorn the Parks with flair and style, they are also displayed to build visitors' excitement and disseminate information about the newest additions to the Disney landscape. This lush book contains concept art and posters from Disney parks around the world, from Tokyo to Paris to the US, and provides a lively narrative to guide viewers through the evolution of Disney's poster art.
