THE FRAMED CEL is professionally framed with red and white matting, a black wood frame and conservation plexiglass to protect the original signature and the acetate from scratches. It features bright and colorful images of Woody Woodpecker as he developed in his creator's mind over the 50 years. NOTE: The framed animation cel measures approx. 3'1" wide x 2 '3" high. Because of its size, the image had to be scanned in three sections even on our large A3 scanner. The "lines" showing these sections in the picture do NOT appear on the original picture which is beautifully perfect. Walter Lantz has signed the animation cel in black felt pen, dated 1990. Below the main picture is a square Universal Studios seal denoting the Anniversary.
