Scope note
Refers to a type of animation cel set-up, or grouping, that is composed of two or more cels and a production background that was created by, or imitates those created by, the Courvoisier Galleries in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It is distinctive in the technique by which figures were trimmed to their edges, glued to a background typically composed of wood veneer, patterns, or hand-painted watercolors, and covered by a protective top cel.
