A group of Harper Goff original drawings and ephemera for the Astroworld Hotel's VIP suites

Comprising 16 original pen-and-ink drawings on tracing paper, 1968-1972; 2 design Ozalids; an oversize color photograph of "Children's World" mural design mounted on board, with 1 color and 1 black-and-white photograph of that mural, gelatin silver prints; 2 smaller Thermofax copies of the Hotel's layout; 3 Astroworld-related magazines (1 duplicate) and a pamphlet. In the late 1960s, Harper Goff designed a series of elaborate, colorful VIP suites for the lavish Astroworld Hotel, built near the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. These theatrical-looking suites had individual themes: "The P.T. Barnum Suite," "The Sadie Thompson Room," etc. These are Goff's design drawings of those suites, along with various ephemera related to it.
Original drawings: approximately 18 x 23 in.; photographs and memorabilia: various sizes.
