TOOTSIE AND DONALD DUCK

Donald's Penguin

The Walt Disney Studio, 1939
Production cel sheets trimmed to outline and applied to a hand-painted Courvoisier Background
.

 

Partial restoration to the hand-inked ink lines, the self-ink lines and the post-production airbrush. The undamaged areas of the hand-inked lines, self-ink lines and post-production airbrush are original and were left unaltered. The hand-painted Courvoisier Background was partially inpainted to complete the image in areas where cel sheet shrinkage caused adhesive to be seen and in areas where abrasion created breaks in the painting. Paper tape and cellophane tape found on the edges of the art were removed from the perimeter of the front, back and sides of the painted background. All wood grain is original. The remainder of the background painting is original and was left unaltered. Cel painting depicting Tootsie was safely and reversibly reattached.
