ABOUT THE IMAGE: In 1945, MGM created the classic cartoon, “Mouse and Manhattan,” effectively separating the endearing pair of Tom and Jerry, when Jerry leaves country life for the city thrills of New York. Featuring spectacular recreations of New York, and set to the music of “Manhattan Serenade” and “Broadway Rhythm.”

Originally drawn by Vince Mussachia and inked by Laurie Dindis, “Mouse in Manhattan” was then silk-screened onto acetate with the Clampett seal of authenticity. Each cel was then hand painted, while the background by Hector Martinez, was reproduced using the fine art Giclee method. Each piece is signed by Joe Barbera. Bill Hanna, who passed away in 2001, is paid tribute with his signature silkscreened in gold on the cel.
