This is the unique original Ozalid print by Disney Studio.

This is a great Walt Disney Studio Model sheet for Donald's Disaster #2354, showing a caricature of a character in the short who looks just like... Roy Williams, the Disney artist who wrote this short!

The title of the short was changed to Donald's Dream Voice when it was released on May 21, 1948. This an animator's model sheet printed on photographic paper showing the normal signs of wear associated with the animators on the studio handling it over and over.

The Ozalid is rubber stamped by the studio. These sheets were considered Disney Documents and rarely if ever left the Studios.

The Ozalid printing process relies on a sensitised paper being developed using ammonia vapour, resulting in a very stable and long lasting print, often used by architects and early animation studios, as the sheets would have been .

The surface of this print has a slight satin finish, similar to that of a developed photograph on satin paper from a dark-room.

This is a true piece of Disney Studio history.
