One of the feature parts of the auction is a collection of Comic Art and Animation pieces throughout the sale. Lot 554 highlights several pieces from Walt Disney with a beautiful vintage photo of Mr. Disney. This has a wonderful vintage matte-finish of an 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo of Disney, prominently and attractively signed in fountain pen. The photo is in fine condition, with diagonal creases to the upper right corner. With its huge signature and clear image, this is a quintessential uninscribed photo of the man behind the mouse. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. This is estimated in value from $4000 to $5000.

A must bid item for serious collectors of Disney memorabilia is on display at Lot 613. This is an incredible original production cel from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, depicting the reflection of the Evil Queen just moments before she transforms herself into a horrible witch. The cel has been trimmed and applied to a hand-painted background as prepared by Courvoisier Galleries for sale. Image measures 5 ¼” in diameter, with a mat opening of 7 ¼” x 7 ¼”. This piece is regally triple-matted and framed with an engraved plaque to an overall size of 23 ¾” x 24”, and is in fine condition. Obsessed with reclaiming her position as ‘the fairest one of all,’ the Evil Queen drinks a powerful elixir and transforms herself into an old hag, a disguise intended to trick Snow White into tasting a poisoned apple. This remarkable cel portrays the Evil Queen in all her haunting and vainglorious beauty during one of the most dramatic scenes in animation history. Given that the Queen is present in only a handful of scenes, this cel remains exceedingly scarce, and is thus highly sought-after by collectors. Estimated value is from $8000 to $12000.

In fine condition. Both this letter and Marat’s invitation are published in The Papers of Benjamin Franklin.
