Courvoisier Setups (Cels)

A cel setup marketed through Courvoisier Galleries between 1938 and 1946. Couvoisier setups share several distinctive features: a cream colored mat with the title of the production inscribed in pencil below the mat opening, a simple presentation or wood grain background, and a 3" by 5" label stating the name of the production. Cels in Courvoisier setups were often cut out and attached to the backgrounds, and were occasionally enhanced with airbrushed shading or dry brush effects. The presentation backgrounds ranged from simple air brushed settings depicting dots or stars, to elaborate watercolor paintings created by the Disney background department. Many Courvoisier setups from Dumbo and Fantasia were laminated using a heat fused process. Courvoisier setups are highly sought after by collectors. Other studios, most notably Walter Lantz, Warner Brothers and Charles Mintz, packaged and marketed artwork in a similar manner between 1938 and 1940.
