HOW TO FISH (1942) - Goofy Original Production Cel - An original production cel from How to Fish, one of Disney's beloved "How To" shorts starring Goofy. The "How To" series began in the early 1940s and became one of Goofy's defining formats. These shorts, narrated with a mock-serious instructional tone, placed Goofy in a series of sporting situations intent on showing everyone 'how to' do it properly and encourage outdoor endeavours, like fishing, skiing, or golfing. The Goofy comedy unfolds through his bumbling but earnest attempts to master each task. The dry gravitas of the narration, offset by Goofy's slapstick chaos, became an enduring hallmark of the series.Goofy's character development through the 1930s and 1940s saw him evolve from a gangly background comic figure into a full-fledged star. Under the guidance of animators like Jack Kinney, who directed many of the "How To" shorts, and the voice talent of Pinto Colvig, Goofy was shaped into the lovable "everyman" audiences still cherish today. His clumsy resilience and good-natured optimism have made him one of Disney's most relatable and enduring characters.Artwise, these cels are beautifully crafted, with expressive linework, physical comedy, and fluid motion. The addition of effects like water splashes or props like the fishing rod added extra technical challenge and artistry to the production, making a cel setup like this especially appealing.This cel has been beautifully trimmed to the image, including the delicate splash effects and Goofy's fishing rod, and is presented on a Disneyland background that complements the action perfectly. With its fantastic pose and expression, this piece captures classic Goofy charm at its best. It comes presented in a card mount. Dimensions (mounted): 39.5 cm x 45.75 cm (15.5" x 18")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.This item will ship from our LA facilityVAT Status: US

19th Century Irish School “Fishing Party at Knockdrin Castle,” O.O.C., c. 1860, 147cms x 34cms (58” x 92). (1) An ambitious painting, depicting a fishing party by a lake, this work bears a faded label giving details of the location: the words ‘A Fishing Party, at . . Levinge’s estate, Knockdrin Castle c 1860’, being just about decipherable. Located six miles from Mullingar, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Knockdrin Castle was home to the Levinge family. A member of the judiciary, the first Sir Richard Levinge played an important role in post-Williamite Ireland, and purchased Knockdrin from the Tuite family. Around 1815, he rebuilt the castle as a large Gothic Revival country house, the gutters of which still bear the Levinge arms. Winston Churchill and his mother were among the many guests that stayed at Knockdrin over the years, participating in hunting parties for which the estate was famous. Although naif in style, this painting is an ambitious group portrait, depicting Sir Richard Levinge and his guests, and ghillies, enjoying in a fishing party. The lake depicted is probably Lough Drin, and the party may have been linked to the completion of a castellated gatehouse in 1860, Apart from a man and woman on horseback, all those present are either seated or standing. One ghillie has a net, while another holds up a fish to be inspected by a man, probably Levinge himself, who holds a split-cane fishing rod. Levinge is dressed in a light blue suit and yellow waistcoat, with a straw boater on the ground beside his feet. To his left, a man wearing a straw boater is lighting a pipe, while to the right, a third ghillie holds a long fishing rod. In the left foreground, six fashionably attired women are seated around a picnic table. Wearing colourful dresses and hats, they are eating and drinking, with one, wearing a yellow dress, holding out her glass to be filled. On the extreme right, a basket of fish is being emptied into a horse-drawn cart, while another fisherman pulls at a line in the water, probably a net. A large earthenware jug sits by the water’s edge. Probably organized to entertain distinguished visitors, the fishing party was clearly a significant event in the estate calendar, so much so that it was considered worthy of recording in a painting. It is a valuable record of society in Ireland in Victorian times. The identity of the artist is not known, but it is likely by an amateur painter, who was seeking to emulate the hunting scenes of well-known artists such as William Osborne. Dr. Peter Murray 2025
Henry Richard Graves (1818–1882) "Portrait of a Boy in Kilt with Fishing Rod" c. 1860, O.O.C., approx. 55” x 39” (1) Dressed in a tailored brown suit, with jacket, white shirt, red cravat, waistcoat and kilt, a boy in his early teens prepares to go fishing. The boy stands before a high wooded bank, holding a fishing rod. To the left can be seen an extensive landscape, with mountains overlooking a river. Although the scene depicted has not been identified, and may be generic, it is can be read as a Scottish scene. In his right hand, the boy has the fishing hook held between thumb and forefinger. The kilt suggests a Scottish provenance, an idea reinforced by another related portrait, probably of the same boy, that shows him with a ‘Balmoral Bonnet’. Recent cleaning of this work has revealed the signature ‘Henry Graves’. Born in 1818, the portrait painter Henry Richard Graves was a successful portrait painter in London in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The son of Thomas North, 2nd Baron Graves and Lady Mary Paget, (sister of the Marquess of Anglesey), he initially worked as a clerk for the India Board. In 1843 he married Henrietta Wellesley, and soon after began to establish himself as a portrait painter, exhibiting over seventy works at the Royal Academy between 1846 and 1881. His clients including members of the Royal Family and the Aristocracy. Many of his sitters had connections with Ireland, and, as with this work, he was particularly adept at painting portraits of children: his 1850 portrait of the young Lady Florence Paget (1842–1881), later Marchioness of Hastings, is at Plas Newydd, while his portrait of Charles Stewart Vane-Tempest-Stewart, later 6th Marquess of Londonderry, painted a decade later, is at Mount Stewart. His 1873 portrait of Charlotte Marion Baird, Countess of Enniskillen, is at Florence Court, in Co. Fermanagh. Dr. Peter Murray 2025
John Butts (c.1728-1765) (Attributed.) “Fishermen by a River at Sunset,” c.1740, O.O.C., approx.. 74cms x 99cms (29” x 39”). (1) Described as the ‘father of landscape painting in Ireland’, the eighteenth-century artist John Butts started his career in Cork, emulating the work of Claude Lorrain and Salvator Rosa. He depicted idyllic landscapes with fishermen, farmers or cattle herders. The attribution of this ‘Claudean’ landscape to Butts is based on both its subject matter and the style of painting. Although his work can easily be confused with that of his pupil, Nathaniel Grogan, Butts’s figures are more down to earth, less self-consciously elegant. In this bucolic landscape, two fishermen, one of them holding a long fishing rod, are in conversation on a river bank at sunset. Beneath them a weir stretches across the river, the water catching the light as it flows over the rocks. There are trees to the left and right, and between them can be seen the ruddy glow of a sun setting on a fine day. Silhouetted against the blue sky, the brown leaves on the trees hint that this is an autumnal scene. There are subtle gradations in colour, from the still waters, to the twilight horizon, and the warm pink glow of the sky. The scene evokes an atmosphere of calm and peace, with no hint of agrarian tensions or hardships. According to Walter Strickland, in his 1913 Dictionary of Irish Artists, having failed to achieve success in Cork, Butts moved to Dublin in 1757, where he establishd himself as a landscape painter. He often based his work on engravings of paintings by Claude, Poussin and Salvator Rosa. In 1763, the Dublin Society gave Butts a prize of £6 for a landscape painting, and he exhibited four landscapes at the first exhibition of the Society of Artists in 1765. In spite of his talents, he was often compelled to paint signs and coach panels, to provide for his family. Dr. Peter Murray 2025
TWAIN MARK: (1835-1910) Samuel Langhorne Clemens. American writer and humourist. A rare and unusual original black pen and ink drawing by Twain, unsigned, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1903). The drawing measures approximately 14 x 16 cm and depicts Twain´s friend, Joseph Jefferson, in a profile head and shoulders pose, wearing a hat, and with a fishing rod in one hand, which he casts out to the sea before him. A sailing boat can be seen in the distance. At the head of the page Twain has indentified the subject (´Joe Jefferson´) in his hand. The drawing was created by Twain for an article entitled Instructions in Art which was originally published in the Metropolitan Magazine of April & May 1903. The illustration is laid down to a piece of contemporary art card (19.5 x 26.5 cm) and features a typed caption pasted below the image, ´Original Drawings by Mark Twain to show his scheme for simplified illustrating´. With a few ink and pencil annotations (including 1A in pencil to the upper left corner of the illustration) relating to publication and the Empire State Engraving Company. An extraordinary drawing with an interesting association. Some traces of adhesive to the upper edge, some light overall age wear and a couple of small areas of paper loss to the upper and lower left corners, GJoseph Jefferson (1829-1905) American actor, one of the most famous 19th century American comedians, and a close friend of Twain. Of the present drawing, Twain wrote in Metropolitan Magazine ´The [drawing] is a marine picture, and is intended to educate the eye in the important matters of perspective and foreshortening. The mountainous and bounding waves in the foreground, contrasted with the tranquil ship fading away as in a dream the other side of the fishing-pole, convey to us the idea of space and distance as no words could do. Such is the miracle wrought by that wondrous device, perspective. The portrait reproduces Mr. Joseph Jefferson, the common friend of the human race. He is fishing, and is not catching anything. This is finely expressed by the moisture in the eye and the anguish of the mouth. The mouth is holding back words. The pole is bamboo, the line is foreshortened. This foreshortening, together with the smoothness of the water away out there where the cork is, gives a powerful impression of distance, and is another way of achieving a perspective effect´.
