Jungle Emperor Leo Art Appraisal

Modern Animation Catalog: Jungle Emperor Leo (Kimba the White Lion) Featured

This item is an open, modern animation catalog or art book. The book features a softcover or flexible binding, as indicated by the manual turning of pages. The pages are made of thick, glossy white paper, providing a clean background for the vibrant images. The primary visible content is a spread showcasing framed animation cels or reproduction prints. On the left page, a black matted frame highlights a line drawing of what appears to be a character from 'Kimba the White Lion,' specifically identified as 'JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO' by text at the top of the page. The drawing is in black ink, possibly with a red artist’s stamp or signature at the bottom. This artwork is framed within a dark, possibly black or dark blue, thick matte. The book's text is predominantly in Japanese, with some English titles visible, such as 'JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO'. The right page displays another framed animation cel or artwork, this one set in a natural wood-colored frame with a lighter matte. The overall condition of the book appears very good, with no visible tears, significant creases, or discoloration on the pages. The binding seems intact. The quality of the reproduction of the artworks is high, typical of art books or exhibition catalogs. The modern layout and clear printing suggest a relatively recent publication date, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
