"Wynken, Blynken And Nod" (1938) [1 of 3] - Courvoisier Simulated Mulitplane

Here is a series on "Wynken, Blynken And Nod" (1938)

This is one of the most interesting Courvoisier items -- a set-up that simulated the layers in a multiplane camera.

The picture includes a glass foreground, a cel, another glass layer with several stars and a final painted background. Very nice. The item is a little small and you have to get close to actually see the multiplane effect.

"Wynken, Blynken And Nod" (1938) [2 of 3] = Courvoisier

During this time, I think there were some exceptional work done by the Courvoisier Galleries. Here's one with some great attention to the background clouds

"Wynken, Blynken And Nod" (1938) [3 of 3] - Pencils From Ingeborg Willy Scrapbook

Here are some interesting pencils from the Ingeborg Willy Scrapbook (See references in the Archives Section). They are nice, full images and a great image of the boat. By the way, notice how the mast was changed to give more of an impression of the pressure of the wind filling the sail...
