(WALT DISNEY STUDIOS.)
"Snow White and Deer" * "Two Rabbits." Together, two original celluloids from Disney's 1937 film release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Gouache on two layers of celluloid over thin paper with airbrushed background mounted to board; background of the second is partially printed. The first is150x150 mm; 6x6 inches and is laid into matte. The second is 170x150 mm; 6 3/4x6 inches. Kennedy & Co. labels on frame verso. See condition report. A reproduction issued by Courvoisier Galleries, "Snow White and the Forest Folk" accompanies the lot.

Condition:

Celluloid layers on both are a bit yellowed with darker discolorations and rippling to extreme edges.

"Snow White and Deer" has a 5-inch crack extending across and outwards in four areas of the top celluloid layer (with animals); does not affect areas of painting.
Bottom layer showing just Snow White is not cracked, but has stray gouache at lower right, which rubbed off from back of rabbit. Blue discolorations to extreme edges of background paper, with dots of discolorations at corners, left and right edges, likely where celluloid was adhered to background.

"Two Rabbits" cel has no apparent cracks. Verso has Walt Disney Enterprises labels. Accompanying window matte is toned with dampstaining to lower edge. "Chipmunks and Bunnies" written in graphite to lower left of matte opening.
