Disney 1954 Disneyland Jolly Roger Pirate Ship Bushman Concept Brownline 3-Set For Sale

An absolute holy grail for theme park historians and elite Disneyana collectors. Up for sale is an incredibly rare, original 1954 collection of three (3) vintage "brownline" production blueprints utilized during the immediate design and development phase of Captain Hook's Jolly Roger Pirate Ship for opening day Fantasyland at Disneyland.Sourced directly from the prestigious Bradley/Bushman Early Disneyland Archives, these sheets represent the foundational architectural blueprint framework given to the model builders, sculptors, and craftspeople who constructed the small-scale vessels and the landmark lagoon ship structure for the park's 1955 debut.The Historical Significance:
To transport guests into the world of Peter Pan, Walt Disney paired independent contractor Bruce Bushman (of Bradley & Kaye fame) with Disney Legend Don DaGradi (the master designer of the original animated galleon). Together, they brought the whimsical structure to life in the Fantasyland Lagoon, where it famously stood for decades as the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant.The 3-Piece Archival Set Includes:

• Prints 1 & 2: Two detailed brownline prints capturing Bruce Bushman's exploratory structural concepts for the iconic vessel, complete with side elevations and overhead plot plans.
• Print 3 (Hand-Colored Mixed Media): An outstanding, highly valuable brownline print featuring mixed-media hand color accents, applied directly by the production unit to map out the vivid paint palette options for the final lagoon restaurant.

Dimensions & Specs:
These substantial, large-format engineering blueprints measure approximately 24" x 19",making them magnificent candidates for high-end archival framing and gallery display.Condition Note:
True to their age and active deployment on the working studio floor in 1954, these prints are in Fair-to-Good condition. They exhibit various degrees of edge tears, handling creases, spots of discoloration, and historic water staining along the borders. These handling elements do not diminish the art; rather, they serve as direct, undeniable material proof of their 1954 working history at the birth of Disneyland
