1914, India ink on rice paper, depicts “Jumbo”, the woolly mammoth comes into the scene as Gertie begins to rear up, glue staining in several areas on edge of paper, small paper chip upper right corner, matted. 6 x 8in Winsor McCay felt that animation art was a new art form and that it could be taken a step further. When McCay started the “Gertie the Dinosaur” film, he made more than five thousand drawings hiring John Fitzsimmons to retrace the background on each drawing. McCay integrated this film into his vaudeville act by giving a command to Gertie and she would respond. He created a personality in her through her motions such as cocking her head while listening to a command, flicking her tail when she disobeyed, or crying when she was scolded. Audiences saw something totally new, a film composed of drawings. This influenced many other animators such as Walter Lanz, Dave Fleischer and Dick Huemer.
