My blog post earlier this month about Imagineer great Herb Ryman's concept art for Walt Disney World got me thinking about his earlier work at Disneyland. So, here is his piece for Sleeping Beauty Castle at Walt's park. By the time he did his work for the new Magic Kingdom, Disneyland had become an international sensation. The second Disney park would therefore be designed and built to a more grand scale and would use everything they learned from Anaheim. The more "rustic" look of Herb's work for California seemed to reflect a less assured outcome for such a risky venture. This piece is less refined but still quite beautiful in its own way.
