He was Art director of Dumbo and worked on Fantasia among his Disney projects. After leaving the Disney organization, Ryman had remained friends with Walt Disney. On September 26, 1953 he received an urgent request to meet with Disney. Disney asked Ryman to render the artwork for a Disney envisioned theme park. Disney and Ryman worked non-stop throughout the weekend creating a large pencil sketch and several other drawings illustrating the project. Roy Disney took the drawings and a six page portfolio to New York to show investors the plan in order to secure financing used to develop Disneyland. Once financing was assured, Disney asked Ryman to rejoin the Disney Company. Disneyland became the centerpiece of his Disney career. Among his contributions were designs for Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and New Orleans Square. Ryman also contributed concepts for the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and for attractions featured at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, including Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Signed, inscribed and original drawings from Herbert Ryman are very rare. White spiral bound with tan illustrated covers. #025145 Size: Oblong 8vo. Signed by Artist. Paperback.
