This cel is a Courvoisier setup with the original matboard. In the late 1930s, Walt Disney Studios was riding on a tidal wave of success. Guthrie Courvoisier, President of the highly esteemed Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco, was aware of Disney's escalating reputation. Guthrie believed that the Disney paintings on celluloid that were used to create Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs could be sold as valuable art pieces to the public through art galleries and museums all over the world. Guthrie believed that selling the cels exclusively through a respected art gallery would entice high-end collectors and museums, and that it would cement Disney's reputation as a respected figure in the art community.
