What does this mean?

Hi Christina,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Myron Waldman began his career in 1930 and by April 1934 was elevated to the role of head animator, overseeing timing, storyboard layouts, character design, and sometimes directly animating scenes in his own units. He directed several early Casper cartoons at Famous Studios, which was formed after Paramount Pictures took over Fleischer Studios in 1942.

The presence of color in this work elevates it above sketches that are in black and white.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Of frame. I can’t open to get dimension of sketch. Do you need me to take measurements of what’s seen?

Christina luksa Jul 17, 10:33 UTC

I will get back to you with a date

Hi Christina,
I've guessed at the age of this and the Betty Boop sketches, which Waldman didn't date. If you find out the date is different than what I've noted, please let me know and I'll update these two appraisals as necessary.
Thanks,
Delia
