(United Artists, 1958) A set of three documents and drawings relating to the film “The Vikings” from the collection of Harper Goff. The set includes two sketches of production designs, one for an amulet is original while the other showing a method of climbing in battle is a photostat copy. Also included is a letter from a Norwegian shipbroker regarding the procurement of 30 ships for the film. Ranging in size from the 4.5" x 6.5" letter in the envelope to the 11.75" x 8.25" sketch, the pages are in good condition with some edge wear including a few small tears, some wrinkling, and browning to the letter from age. Disneyland. Artist Harper Goff’s fingerprints are all over pop culture’s history. Goff first met Walt Disney in London when the two collectors tried to buy the same train set. The Disney Legend would go on to design the Nautilus, create concepts for Main Street, U.S.A., and even play banjo in the popular Firehouse Five Plus Two, a band consisting of Goff and his fellow Disney artists. Goff’s talents were appreciated throughout Hollywood, as he worked for many different studios over the years. We are proud to have some of his wonderful designs up for auction.
