Golden Coloring Book Original Art by Bob Grant - Page 26
Next in the Golden Coloring Book art series is page 26 - Alice in the garden of live flowers.
This is the page that made me realize what this batch of art was from. If you look at the rendering of Alice's face - especially the eyes - you'll see that it is very distinctive. I had always noticed the way her eye's were drawn in that coloring book, and the page of art triggered that memory enough for me to pull out the book and compare.
Another interesting thing is that this page of art - along with all the others in this series - is art from the pre-colored pages of this book. You may recall from my original post that this coloring book is a little different from most, it has a bunch of pages that come pre-colored, acting as a sort of reference.
The Golden Catalog from the fall of 1951 describes these special books as Golden Story Coloring Books, and the pre-colored pages as offering 'a general guide to the young artist'.

Golden Coloring Book Original Art by Bob Grant - Page 14
A while back I had a post on a very hard to find item, the Alice in Wonderland Golden Coloring Book.
The next few posts feature original art for this coloring book. First up is page 14, the Walrus preparing to 'begin the feed'.
Art for these is credited to Bob Grant, an artist who did a number of comic strips and comic books for Disney from the 1930s through the late 1960s at least.

Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland Coloring Book - A Golden Coloring Book
Cool, my first request :-) This is the extremely rare Golden Coloring Book.
For years I didn't even know this existed, having thought that people who referred to it were mistaking the very common Paint Book.
What is interesting about this coloring book is that it is divided into two parts. The first part tells the story, and there are lots of pages that are pre-colored, giving the child a model to work from. The second part is more of a traditional coloring book with large figures for easy coloring.
The art in this book is particularly good, credited to Bob Grant of the Walt Disney Studios.
