Charles Boyer Snow White Poster (50th Anniversary - 1987)

A 1987 Golden Anniversary commemorative poster was created by Disneyland master illustrator Charles Boyer. A limited edition, the 20" x 30" print was available for purchase in the park. It features a little girl looking into a mirror and seeing the reflection of Snow White and three of the dwarfs. The Snow White in the poster was the actual cast member at that time who played the princess in the park, and she posed for the painting.

For one day only on July 17th, the date of the 1987 theatrical re-release, these posters were given away free to Disneyland guests as they exited the park. The cast members at the gate would ask if you were coming back inside. If you said yes, you didn't get one. If you said no, they gave you a poster.

As mentioned in the earlier post, just outside the gate, the Disneyland Post Office had set up a temporary booth where they were cancelling postage with a commemorative Snow White rubber stamp. Snow White enthusiast Barbara of Harborhousee55 took her free poster over and got it stamped.

Disney Legend recipient Charles Boyer started his career at Disney in 1960 by accepting a "temporary" job at the theme park. He was Disneyland's very first full-time artist and ended up staying for 39 years.
Charles produced nearly fifty collectible lithographs, as well as a diverse range of artwork for magazine covers, brochures, and flyers -- even Company-commissioned oil portraits for retiring employees. He has worked in all media including pastels, oils, watercolors, gouache, acrylics, pencil, and ink. Source: Disney Legends
He retired in 1999.
