From the back COA:

This is a limited edition of xerographic-line, hand-painted character cel set-ups featuring Walt Disney\'s beloved animated star, Mickey Mouse. This cel set-up, \"Mickey\'s Milestones\" represents Mickey at eight stages of his film career: Steamboat Willie(1928), Thru the mirror(1936), Magician Mickey(1937), Fantasia(1940), Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip(1940), Mickey and the Beanstalk(1947), The Mickey Mouse Club(1955), and runaway Brain(1994).

A special remarque, screen-printed on the mat, adds a ninth stage to Mickey\'s film career as it depicts him in a moment from Mickey\'s Birthday Party(1942). Each mat was then hand signed by legendary Disney animator Ward Kimball, to accompany the remarque which was based on his original animation from the 1945 classic short. Ward Kimball’s signature pertains to the screen-printed remarque only. This special remarque was screen printed on the mat by Team Art Studio of Gardena, California.

The background character sketches accompanying this cel were recreated by disney artists utilizing original drawings and sketches from the films as reference. The resulting artwork has been lithographically printed on premium quality, acid-free paper by Color Service, Inc of Monterey Park, California.
