Carl Barks' Live It Up Donald, You're 50! is a continuous-tone commemorative lithograph honoring Donald Duck's 50th birthday, produced on Opalesque paper and limited to an edition of 500 copies plus six artist's proofs, 15 publisher's proofs and ten printer's proofs. Each copy is signed and numbered. The image area is 16"x 12" on 20 ½” x 16" paper.
Opalesque is a newly registered archival-quality paper constructed of 100% cotton fiber for strength and longevity that is coated with an enhancing motherof-pearl silken finish. It has exceptional ink holdout for quality and consistency in color reproduction, is acid free to resist aging and has alkaline buffering to counteract the effects of acids normally present in the environment. If this print is framed or stored under conditions that avoid dust, insects, direct sunlight and extremes in heat, cold and humidity, it will resist fading or yellowing for hundreds of years.
This historic limited edition lithograph has had no previous editions and there will be none in the future. There are no unsigned or unnumbered copies. All printing plates have been permanently scarred to prevent future use and are being kept for historical purposes at the Walt Disney Archives.
Live It Up Donald, You're 50! was produced for Grolier Enterprises by Another Rainbow Publishing and was printed by The Black Box, continuous-tone lithographers, of Chicago.
