This is the incredible personal memoir of Peter Ellenshaw titled ELLENSHAW UNDER GLASS. This book is a new first edition.

“The best new Disney-art-and-history book to be released in years ...” (Jim Hill Media website review)

“Photographically, the book is a marvel -- 334 pages of matte paintings, concept art and behind-the-scenes photos, seasoned with personal photos and mementos.” (Cinefex weekly e-newsletter 3.30.04 Issue 11)

This is the personal story of renowned landscape artist, motion picture art director, Academy Award winning special effects artist and official Disney Legend Peter Ellenshaw, whose artistic career spans more than six decades.

This wonderful book follows his life, in his words – from his humble beginning in war-torn England through his escapades in the RAF during World War II…to his successful career as an Academy Award winning matte painter…and fine art/landscape artist.  The book is filled with amusing anecdotes – including stories of his work with Walt Disney.

The book has dazzling full color images of concept art from classic Disney films like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Darby O'Gill and the Little People," "In Search of the Castaways," "Mary Poppins," "The Love Bug," "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," "The Black Hole" and much, much more.

Great stories. Great art.
