An original Xenomorph creature head from the production of Ridley Scott’s Alien (20th Century Fox, 1979), from the Carlo Rambaldi Archives.This Xenomorph head is composed of a fiberglass material, polyester resin, and includes a clear acrylic dome. The main structure of the head has been spray-painted with lacquer and acrylic paint to resemble bone, and features matte black components. The head has been mounted to a base for display purposes.  This head casting was fabricated by the famed Shepperton Design Studios from an original design by Academy Award-winning artist H.R. Giger, and featured hand-applied make-up effects enhancements by three-time Academy Award winner Carlo Rambaldi. Rambaldi was also engaged to project the mechanical retractable mouth of the Xenomorph head. This exact head can be seen on the set of the film in various vintage black & white photographs taken during the production phase of Alien at Rambaldi's effects lab. This photo shows the head coated in a slime-like substance, indicating that it was likely used to test different special effects techniques to achieve the effect seen in the final production of the film.  This prop was photo-matched to on set photos of Carlo Rambaldi working on the head during production.  The slime, the broken tubing, the uniquely cut neck and other details match these photos provided by the Rambaldi Archives.  Comparison side-by-side photos are provided showing the on set photos compared to the pre-restoration photos.  During the restoration process completed in 2023, the slime features were removed to restore the prop to its intended film appearance.This original Xenomorph head casting has been fully restored by the expert team at Blok4, who’s highly detailed process has preserved this piece for years to come. The team began by stripping and cleaning the Xenomorph head of its post-production applied visual effects in the form of paint and debris. Blok4 then began recreating from another original production example important snap clips for minor components that were missing or that needed to be replaced. Using a skilled fiberglass craftsman, the team was able to strengthen the integrity of the head and repair the worn interior. After the repair stage had been completed, the head was then sanded and spray-painted, closely following the original design direction from the film. Also added during the restoration was a new clear dome, also cast from an existing original production used example.This Xenomorph head, which was cast during the production of the film, was referred to by Rambaldi as a “Long Shot Head." Science fiction and horror fans alike will agree that Alien defined an era and set the tone for future films in the genre. The film's accolades include a 1980 Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and a nomination for Best Art Direction, a Saturn Award for Best Direction for Ridley Scott and Best Science Fiction Film, among other nominations. Space-themed films such as Star Wars - A New Hope (Lucasfilm Ltd., 1977), released just two years prior, would set the bar for the scale of production expected for the film. As audiences poured in, opening in ninety theaters across the United States, and setting over fifty records, it's safe to say that Alien is what people were craving. The iconic Xenomorph was unlike anything that viewers had seen up to that point before, and some viewers were still left traumatized from Steven Spielberg's Jaws (Universal Pictures, 1975). Unlike that family-friendly Star Wars film, Alien's combination of horror and sexual themes earned it an "R" rating in the United States, and an "X" rating in the United Kingdom. Ridley Scott said about H.R. Giger's original model for an Xenomorph in an interview with Fantastic Films Magazine in 1979, “I'd seen conceptual drawings that other artists had tried rendering of the Alien. They always seemed to be of scaly bodies with claws, or huge blobs that would move across the floor. There was no elegance to them, no lethalness. What emerged was a H.R. Giger-designed humanoid with distinctively bio-mechanoid tendencies. I mean, really, how many creatures in horror films have actually worked for you? People only accept them because that's what they're seeing. When we finally had something acceptable, we stood back and looked at him. For better or worse, we were committed to that thing as the beast. He was great on paper, and when Giger put the model together, he looked terrific.”This striking, production-made Alien head has been displayed at various museum exhibits over the years, including most recently at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Exposition Palace) in Rome, Italy, titled “La Meccanica dei Mostri: da Carlo Rambaldi a Makinarium (The Mechanics of Monsters: From Carlo Rambaldi to Makinarium)” and was a part of the personal archive of Rambaldi for over four decades.  This prop has never before been offered at auction.  Rambaldi was a legendary special effects artist, who first rose to prominence with his work on Italian horror classics like Mario Bava’s Planet of the Vampires (Italian International Film, 1965), considered by many critics to be a prominent influence on Alien, and Dario Argento’s Deep Red (SEDA Spettacoli s.p.a.-Rome, production, 1975). His mutilated dog animatronics for Lucio Fulci’s film A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin were so convincing that Fulci was brought to trial for animal cruelty, and Rambaldi had to demonstrate the effects work in court to save the director from two years in prison.  Rambaldi became most well-known for his work on several of the most beloved American blockbusters of all time, including John Guillerman’s King Kong (Paramount Pictures, 1976) and Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Columbia Pictures, 1977), and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal Pictures, 1982). Rambaldi won a Special Achievement Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for King Kong, and Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects for Alien and E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Includes a DVD of the film. 33.25 x 13 x 15.75 inchesPROVENANCE From The Carlo Rambaldi Archives

The Indian Mutiny medal awarded to Assistant Surgeon L. F. Dickson, 2nd Sikh Police Corps, who was also attached ‘in medical charge in the field’ to Shannon’s Naval Brigade, February-September 1858; he afterwards emigrated to Australia but finally settled on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where a nature reserve today bears his name Indian Mutiny 1857-59, 1 clasp, Lucknow (Asst. Surgn. L. F. Dickson 2nd Sikh Police Corps) good very fine and rare £1,200-£1,600 --- Lindsay Frederick Dickson was born on 26 October 1834, at Cheltenham, son of the distinguished physician Samuel Dickson later of 28 Bolton Street, Mayfair and his wife, ‘the beauty of Edinburgh’, Eliza, daughter of David Johnston of Overton and niece of Lord Campbell, Lord High Chancellor of Ireland. Samuel, after serving with the 30th Regiment of Foot in Madras for five years, published a book on the tropical diseases of India. His surgery of over 7,000 patients in Cheltenham made him a wealthy man but Samuel Dickson was a controversial physician who, by 1860, at his own expense, produced a monthly hand-written journal, The People’s Medical Enquirer, in which he advanced the cause of Dicksonian truth whilst exposing the errors of others. Samuel waged a long campaign against bloodletting which, he felt, weakened patients and instead he advocated the use of stimulants such as Quinine and alcohol. His lectures on the ‘Fallacies of the Faculty’ and the ‘Chrono-thermal System of Medicine’ were treated by the medical establishment with scepticism and he was ostracised by his peers. While he was not without supporters in England, his chief following was in the United States where the Penn Medical College of Philadelphia was founded to teach his doctrines. Lindsay was educated Aberdeen University, King's College, London, M.R.C.S. 1856 and L.S.A 1856, and St. Andrews, Scotland, M.D. 1857. He was appointed Assistant-Surgeon, 4 August 1857; Surgeon, 4 August 1869; Surgeon-Major, 1 July 1879; Brigade-Surgeon, 27 November 1882, and retired the following year. His Employment and Services in the Field plus additions are as follows: He arrived at Calcutta, 5 December 1857, and was appointed to accompany a detachment of recruits of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fusiliers from Barrackpore to Cawnpore where, on 8 February 1858, he was appointed to the Shannon’s Naval Brigade, being present with it until its departure back to Calcutta in September 1858. He was in medical charge in the field in the absence of Surgeon Flanagan, who had been taken with fever. ‘The Devil's Wind’ by Verney states that the hospital at Lucknow was in such an exposed position that it was relocated to a village 150 yards away. The enemy received information of the move and redirected their fire, whereby two camels were killed by round shot and another went through the building where Dr. Dickson and some staff were operating. On 10 October 1858, he took medical charge of a detachment of recruits, 70 women and 70 children to Allahabad per the flat Mala Ganga arriving at Calcutta on 10 November. On 18 November 1858, he took medical charge of the 2nd Sikh Police Battalion at Bulleah which was engaged in protecting the Gorackpore Frontier towards Nepal. In January 1859 he transferred to 20th Regiment Punjab Infantry, during several expeditions against flying parties of rebels in the Shahabad District. In September 1859 he was placed in medical charge of the 3rd Sikh Cavalry at Tirhoot and accompanied the regiment to Segowlee until forced by illness to go to Dinapore, where he was ordered to England for 15 months on Medical Certificate, returning to India on 9 August 1861. He served 5 years with the Mewar Infantry, with a brief period with the Malwa Bheel Corps; served 2 years, Bengal Artillery; 8 months, Bengal Sappers and Miners; 6 months each with 25th and 28th Bengal Native Infantry; and one year with 13th (Shekhawatti) Native Infantry. He served further various lengths of service in Civil Charge of the districts of Azimgarh, Mymensingh, Nagode and Roorkee. On 15 June 1869, Lindsay Frederick married Charlotte, the daughter of John Kirkpatrick, former Chief Justice of the Legislative Council of the Ionian Islands, and his wife Jean, at Edinburgh. Through her uncle William Kirkpatrick of Malaga, Charlotte was a direct cousin of the future Empress Eugenie. Charlotte bore Lindsay 8 children, although 3 died tragically young. On retirement, after serving for 22 years and 6 days, he sailed with his family to Australia. The Register of the Medical Practitioners for 1885 in the Victorian Police Gazette shows that Dr. Dickson had already registered in Melbourne as early as 7 May 1880. Walch’s Tasmanian Almanac for 1881 shows that he also registered in the town of Bothwell, a remote outpost on the island. Dickson and family remained in Australia for 5 years. In the late 1880s Dickson joined an established community of soldiers’ families who had come from India to settle on Vancouver Island. They were attracted in part by the excellent trout and salmon fishing on Cowichan River and Lake, but also by low property prices. Dickson bought a property on Denman Island and a house in Vancouver, wintering in Santa Cruz, California where he established a medical practice. In 1889 he further purchased the Cowichan Lake Hotel, remotely located on the mouth of the Campbell River. An Angler’s Paradise – Sport fishing and Settler Society on Vancouver Island 1860s-1920s, by Diana Pedersen, gives an atmospheric account of their lives and experiences with Dickson being one of the leading citizens of the community. At Santa Cruz Dickson was exposed to the new pastime of big-game fishing that was sweeping the sporting world. He brought his knowledge of angling for large salmon from Monterey Bay to the Campbell River, where he was considered an authority on tackle and lures, and even patented a reel of his own design at El Paso. In 1903 he created two salmon-angling world records at the Campbell River; the first, confirmed by the The Field magazine, to which Dickson contributed many articles, was for the greatest weight of salmon caught by a rod in one day; 12 Tyee (Chinook) salmon were landed weighing 458 pounds. The second was for the greatest weight of salmon caught by a rod in 16 days of fishing, an impressive 92 Tyee weighing 3,665 pounds. As a respected medical authority, his expertise was sought by provincial and legal health authorities. At the time of a local outbreak of smallpox he was appointed Municipal Health Officer and Public Vaccinator for the Cowichan District. Between 1890 and 1893 he served as medical examiner and testified at inquests in several cases of accidental or unexplained deaths. In October 1891 he rowed 40 miles to Saturna Island to conduct a post mortem examination on a man who had fallen and died during an attack of delirium tremens. His wife Charlotte, who had diabetes and had been ill for some time, died at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Victoria in February 1907, aged 64. Dickson died of throat cancer on 25 April 1908, but not before he had married Elizabeth in October 1907. Both Lindsay and Charlotte were buried in the family plot at Ross Bay Cemetery, Victoria. After a 10 year campaign by the Denman Conservancy Association, 134 acres of forested land and foreshore, part of the Lindsay Dickson estate, was purchased by the Province of British Columbia in 2001 and transferred to the Islands Trust Fund. It is now known as the Lindsay Dickson Nature Reserve, making it one of the most pristine unlogged forests in British Columbia.
