Bambi is a 1942 American animated drama film directed by David Hand (supervising a team of sequence directors), produced by Walt Disney and based on the book Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Austrian author Felix Salten. In 1948, the Courvoisier Gallery went out of business. The Courvoisier Gallery sold these early Disney cels for roughly ten years, at what were considered rather high prices for the day. For $50, one purchased a more elaborate, panorama or multi-character piece. For five dollars, a person could buy a single cel set-up over a simple airbrush background. These originally sold for $5 to $50, a fairly expensive price in those post-Depression years. These were followed by cels from Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, the Silly Symphonies, etc. The first cel marketing venture included 7000 cels from Snow White, released by San Francisco's Couvoisier Gallery. The Courvoisier label has some damage (see photo) and is common at the time the "Fantasia" was crossed out and "Bambi" typed.About Courvoisier Gallery: Through the years, Disney realized the artwork did indeed have some historic and commercial value and could generate some income for the studio.
