Autographed Walt Disney Photo
Written on March 2, 2007 at 5:51 pm, by Lain
I found this picture while rummaging through our attic upstairs.
It’s Walt Disney, seated on the left, with some of the cast of Song of the South. His signature is faded, but you can see it in blue in the bottom left.
The film was released at the Fox Theatre in 1946, and the Wren’s Nest hosted a few press conferences for the event.
Seriously, you could spend weeks in our attic and still find stuff like this. Most of the memorabilia has to do with obscure family members and descendents of Joel Chandler Harris. But every once in a while you’ll find something neat.

Stellar find! Keep rummaging, and be sure to update us on further, interesting finds. (I like how you’ve created a category for “Stuff I Find In the Attic”.)
Indeed, an awesome find. Is one of the things you hope to do is catalogue all the items at Wren’s Nest and create a database? Something like that needs to be preserved in such a way that the signature is maintained in good condition.
About a year ago, we were lucky enough to receive help from SCAD in several forms. In particular, we had an intern who archived all of our stuff upstairs.
Trouble is, nobody’s showed me where the blueprint of the catalogue is. Everything’s neatly sorted in boxes, but I haven’t found the key yet. So I’m not exactly sure where we stand on that.
What I do know is that the attic is not climate controlled, and as soon as I have enough money to rent a storage space and enough time to find a truck and move the stuff in the attic, I will.
Awesome find indeed! Let me know if you need help moving stuff. I am here to serve the Wren’s Nest.
