Additional Details

Battaglia (1910-1984) was an American illustrator and writer. He began his career as a caricaturist before getting his foot in the door at Walt Disney Studios where he contributed substantially to "Dumbo," "Fantasia," and "Pinocchio." He continued to draw celebrity caricatures throughout his career, providing illustrations for The New York Times and Vanity Fair. His most substantial contributions to the illustration field were his children's book illustrations through which he pioneered a more abstract, mid-century cartooning style.
