Rare, Oversized Snow White Poster Up For Auction

Ever seen this one before? Me neither.

According to Heritage Auctions, "These oversized pieces were typically intended for front-of-house displays, or for use as standees and, due to their large, difficult-to-store size and fragile paper-stock, were rarely saved. That this one has survived nearly seven decades is nothing short of a miracle, especially considering the thin, glossy photo paper on which it's printed (posters of this size were usually printed on heavier stock, but Disney obviously wanted to emphasize the artwork and the colors in this beauty, leading him to use a photogelatin process that required the more fragile paper). This breathtaking image, featuring artwork by animator Grim Natwick and art director Gustav Tenggren, practically tells the movie's story in its entirety, with delicate watercolor scene images surrounding a gathering of all the characters."
