Provenance History
Commercial retail product from Warner Bros. Studio Stores or authorized animation art galleries. Features the 'Authentic' stamp and 'Looney Tunes' seal in the lower corners as proof of license
Art Historical Significance
A representative example of 'Specially Created' animation art, produced specifically for the collectors' market rather than for film production. It highlights the 1990s boom in animation collectibles and the enduring cultural icon status of Bugs Bunny.
Notable Features
Includes official Warner Bros. seal of authenticity and 'Authentic' logo printed directly on the cel. This is likely a non-numbered open edition or large-run limited edition sericel.
Condition Issues
Possible minor scuffing on the glass or frame edges; slight yellowing of the matting is common in these commercial frames. The cel itself shows no visible vinegar syndrome or paint lifting.
Conservation Recommendations
Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the screen-printed inks. Use UV-protected glass if re-framing. Maintain stable temperature/humidity to prevent the acetate from curling.
