Amazing set of original 35mm Ilford FP4 safety film strips containing 44 photograph negatives from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. The photographs were taken in 1976 by Colin Sheffield, at the request of Andrew Ainsworth, to show George Lucas the early prototype castings for a number of helmets, including the stormtrooper, the TIE fighter pilot, and rebel pilot designs. The strips, which range in size from 1.5 x 1.25 to 9 x 1.25, offer a rare insight into the early designs of the helmets, including full-face helmet variants for the rebel pilots. Includes a USB flash drive containing digital scans of the photographs. In fine condition. The photographs within this lot are sold with copyright. The buyer is solely responsible for ascertaining that each photograph is otherwise cleared for publication.
