BONUS:
Sericel was issued by Universal without a background. The cel was printed with the blackout line of the curtains. Cel was simply mounted over a white matt-board. We thought that was too plain, so we slide behind the cel, art paper cutout to match up with the curtain shape.

What is a sericel?
A Sericel
is a serigraphy process that involves silk-screening each individual color to the cel, one at a time. Every distinct shade is a separate screen, and a separate pass in the procedure. As a result of this fine art operation, each color is flawlessly reproduced. Sericels are also created in limited quantities, typically 2500 to 5000 pieces and sometimes even 9500. Because of their larger edition size, sericels are the most affordable type of animation art, ideal for the beginning collector. The word Sericel is a contraction of Seri-graphed Cel.
The Remarkable June Foray
June Foray DECEASED (born September 18, 1917-
July 26, 2017
) is an American voice actress who has worked for most of the studios which produced animated films since the 1940s.
Foray was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, where her voice was first broadcast in a local radio drama when she was 12 years of age; by age of 15 she was doing regular radio voice work. Two years later she moved to Los Angeles, California, and soon became a popular voice actress on radio there, including on the national programs of Jimmy Durante and Danny Thomas. In the 1940s, she began film work as well, including a few appearances acting in live-action movies, but mostly doing voice overs for animated cartoons.
For Walt Disney, she played Lucifer the Cat in the feature film Cinderella; she did a variety of voices in Walter Lantz's Woody Woodpecker cartoons; for Warner Bros. Cartoons she was Granny, owner of Tweety and Sylvester (whom she has played, on and off, since 1943), and, memorably, a series of witches including Witch Hazel for Chuck Jones. She appeared on the Smurfs (as Jokey Smurf and Mother Nature), George of the Jungle, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas as Cindy Lou Who ; she was the voice of the original "Chatty Cathy" doll (confidently, she was the voice of the "Talking Tina" doll in The Twilight Zone episode, "The Living Doll"), and is a voice on the Disney attraction "Pirates of the Caribbean" as the wife of the man getting dunked ("Don't tell him, Carlos!"). She is best-known for -- her stint with Jay Ward Productions, performing almost all the female roles (and the occasional male) on The Bullwinkle Show ( Rocky and His Friends), Dudley Do-Right, Fractured Fairy Tales, Fractured Flickers and many more. She can barely venture anywhere these days without someone imposing on her to speak a line or two as Rocky (usually the line about "That trick never works") or perhaps Natasha Fatale and/or Nell Fenwick.
