This classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs book was originally published in 1978 by Circle Fine Art Press, Chicago/New York. Limited edition of 9500. Hardcover, 224 pages. Dimensions: 14" x 11". White leather cover with raised bands and 22-karat gold leaf highlights. Individually numbered. Housed in red slipcase. Includes four serigraphs printed on acetate.
They must have had copies left over from the initial publication because this same limited edition book would reappear nine years later in the Fall 1987 Walt Disney Family Gift Catalog. Retail price $299.95.
In 1979, Viking Press published a general release of the book. See it in the next post. An Italian edition was issued in 1980, followed by a French version in 1981, both with less pages.

The Courvoisier "Gallery Series" of Snow White Cels
The "Disney Portrait Gallery Series" from the late 1990s is a unique set of 10 hand-inked, hand-painted limited edition framed reproduction cel images from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They recreate the look of the very rare original animation production art that was released by Guthrie Courvoisier in 1938-39.
A total of 10 images make up this set including Snow White, the Queen, the Witch and all Seven Dwarfs. The Snow White image was released in 1997 followed by one new portrait every other month until the entire series was complete. Only those collectors who purchased the first 9 pieces had the option to purchase the last--the last being the Old Witch. This last portrait consisted of 350 limited editions compared to 750 produced for each of the other nine.
Seen below with this complete 1997 set are the actual Courvoisier production cels from 1938-39! These originals were used by the artists to recreate the reproductions.
