This is a print.

Rare Disney Ozalid from the collection of Peter Adby, the Manager of Walt Disney's London Studio (from 1953-1968).

This "Once Upon a Wintertime" Model Sheet shows 11 individual drawings of characters from the animation.

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, so as such there is an expected level of wear and tear.

Once Upon a Wintertime is an animated short from the film Melody Time. It was reissued as a stand-alone short on September 17, 1954.

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.
