Vintage Superluxe Set of 25 French Postcards

Published by Superluxe of Paris, circa 1945, this set of 25 postcards tells the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Interesting enough, it's done without ever showing the Evil Queen or her alter ego. Each numbered card measures approximately 3.5" x 5.5" (9 x 14 cm) and is printed on deckled edged high quality paper. All cards contain the copyright statement "Par autorisation: WALT DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE, S.A."

Prior to 1945--from the late 1930s until the end of the war--these same Snow White Superluxe cards were actually printed by E. Sepheriades of Paris. That earlier collection was smaller in number, being just a 12 card set. As a result, the card numbers don't always match. The E. Sepheriades card below is labeled as No.9 while the Superluxe is No.15.

Springtime Is When Celebrities Pose With Snow White

Back on May 23rd of 2008, the Orlando Sentinel's Theme Park Rangers posted this Celebrity/Snow White sighting...

Tina Fey...the 30 Rock star/writer/producer is here with her family, vacationing at Walt Disney World. That’s her two-year-old daughter with Snow White and her husband Jeff Richmond in the background near Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom.

I’m sure Snow is a good sport and doesn’t mind that Alice is wearing an Ariel/Little Mermaid shirt. Dewayne Bevil,  May, 23 2008

March 23, 2009 from the Orlando Sentinel once again...

It's a double-star sighting today at the Magic Kingdom with 30 Rock star/mastermind Tina Fey and ER star John Stamos, posing with princesses Belle, Cinderella and Snow White inside Cinderella Castle. Fey and Stamos are visiting Walt Disney World with their respective families and happened to be at the theme park on the same day. Stamos is a known Disneyphile, but we wonder what Fey likes best about Disney World. Dewayne Bevil, Ma, 23 2009
