A miscellaneous lot of Harper Goff's designs for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Paramount, 1971. Comprising 8 original designs, black marker on tracing paper, many signed ("Harper Goff") and dated; 4 designs, Ozalids (2 are duplicates); with an oversize color photograph of Munich, Germany, gelatin silver print, and a hand-drawn thank-you card signed to Goff by 28 crew members inscribed: "Thank you / very / much / for this wonderful / evening / To Harper Goff and / Hank Wynands / from all of the art and constr. team." A group of miscellaneous Harper Goff designs for the film including: The Goose That Lays Golden Eggs (composed of two drawings taped together); Willy Wonka's half-office; a diagram of the Chocolate Factory's interior; a diagram of a conveyor belt system; exterior and interior views of Charlie's house; lettering for Wonka's Inventing Room door; and a comic drawing of the "Wolperdinger," a legendary German winged rabbit unrelated to the film. The latter may have been drawn to kid the film's producer, David Wolper. Also with a thank-you card to Goff from his crew, and a large aerial color photograph of Munich, where Willy Wonka was filmed.
Approximately 16.5 x 23 in.; photograph of Munich: 18.75 x 18.75 in.; card: overall: 14.5 x 21 in.
