I recently bought this great photo of Walt and Mickey there are several dates stamped on back but the written information is dated April 20, 1934 and mentions the following:LONDON, ENGLAND - George Bernard Shaw, Sir Edwin Luewtens, The Earl of Crawford, Lawrence Binyon and a host of Royal Academicans, artists, architects, sculptors and craftsmen have paid tribute to Walt Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphony films, shown above with an enlarged replica of his famed Mickey Mouse. They are members of the Art Workers Guild, which has decided to make Mr. Disney an honorary member because of his great gift to the art of the film and the happiness he has brought to the world with his animated cartoons. It is the first time that the films have been recognized by the British institution.
Can anyone confirm the above date?
Many thanks to David for the following comment regarding this photo:
Check out my blog - you'll see the original photo was taken in September 1932 at a meeting of the Breakfast Club in Hollywood. Walt sits astride the club's mascot, a wooden pony nicknamed: "Ham."

I guess now the question is are there any photos the event described on back of my photo?

Hi Mark. That image has been cropped from a larger image.

Hey Mark , I think David is right. This photo was taken in 1932. I also saw many times this name in this format.
I think 'Walk Disney' is simply great as he has established a new world of cartoons between us.He has given a new direction to the cartoon world.
