Courvoisier (Animation)

Refers to a cel set-up marketed by Courvoisier’s original galleries from 1937 to 1946. In original condition, all have similar distinctive - a cream colored mat with the character and/or film name inscribed in pencil below the mat opening, plus an encircled "WDP (or "WDE" prior to 1939) stamped or embossed on the mat and/or background. Characters were usually, but not always, cut out and glued to the background with a protective cel over the image. Certain cels, most notably from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, were also "enhanced" with additional airbrushing on the edges of the characters to presumably create a more subtle three dimensional appearance.
