THE COLLECTION
Relive some of the greatest moments in cartoon history with our exclusive series of rare original drawings from the Hanna-Barbera studio. Expertly curated from one of America’s most prestigious animation art archives, this collectible selection boasts best-loved characters like Fred Flintstone, Yogi Bear, Top Cat and Pink Panther in a range of iconic scenes and poses. Drawn in pencil on paper, the one-off artworks were created at the legendary Hanna- Barbera studio, where world-class pencillers, inkers and cartoonists revolutionised American television for over four decades. Each piece is hand-signed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, whose unique vision led their studio to seven Academy Awards and eight Emmy Awards. The drawings reveal not only the characters, but the concepts behind them. As the first step in the final creation of characters, original production drawings were traced onto the animation cel to form the black outline before it was filled with colour and photographed. Many are annotated with notes and colour codes, offering a rare insight into the techniques used by history’s greatest animation artists. Humorous sight gags and monster trucks that could only exist on the winding tracks of Wacky Races are showcased alongside touching scenes of family and friendship. The collection bears the Hanna-Barbera seal of authenticity and complements our existing range of limited edition works, making it the perfect addition for any cartoon fan.
