I live here in Denver and hope to meet you some time. <BR/><BR/>I suspect the addition treatment to the drawing is because the cel and drawing were at one time stored together and there was some chemical process between the two. I have several of these Casper cels also and it looks to me that the transparent paint of rhe cel altered the paper slightly.

This was especially prevalent with xerography so that the front of the drawing would stay clean.<BR/><BR/>Helen Komar was an assistant at Paramount who did this often.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.com
