This is the unique original Ozalid print by Disney Studio.

This Peter Pan Temporary Rough Model Sheet shows 17 individual drawings of Peter Pan, grouped together on an official Disney Ozalid Print.

There are a number of pin holes in the top left of the sheet and small pieces of tape fixed to the reverse of the sheet at the bottom corners. This sheet has obviously been used in production in the Disney Studios and shows signs of this use as it was used to help create Disney History.

Peter Pan was Disney's 14th animated feature film. It was also the final Disney film in which all of the members of Disney's Nine Old Men worked together as directing animators.

Considered official Disney Documents, these sheets 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 handled over and over.

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