I kept staring at these pics and marveling at what has remained the same and what has changed. I love that archway in what is not the Market House.

Good eye! I think that the area behind the wall is technically "back stage".<br /><br />Melissa, maybe the Man in the Yellow Hat was a little boy just out of frame. He was wearing a yellow Keppy Kap. <br /><br />Dave Meek, I doubt they were done by background artists. I wish I knew the story behind them though! They look like they were painted from photos, in oils; perhaps they had four or five painters who could really crank out finished paintings. Maybe they had 15 or 20 different photos to paint from. "We need two more castles, Bill. Can you get them done by tonight?".<br /><br />K. Martinez, unless these were offset lithos (basically posters), I doubt that these were limited edition works. They look like real paintings to me.

Disneyland does have the Disney Gallery and Disneyana type shops that sell this kind of stuff.<br /><br />I would've loved to have the Schweitzer Falls and Colubmia paintings shown in the blow up image.K.

Most likely they were painted by lower tier background artists from the studio, probably for an hourly wage or flat fee. But who knows? Maybe there's a John Hench original in there too, now gathering dust in somebodies attic.

The only thing I like about the second picture better than number 1 is the clear round lights (which I love) strung rather than the used-car lot flags. The first one is so pretty! :-)<br /><br />Do we know what changes were going on behind the wall? This is the opposite side from the ice cream shoppe, correct?Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.com
