* Broadhurst (Arthur Brooks, 1860-1930). The personal binoculars and fishing priest of an Indian big-game hunter, i.e. 1) a pair of C. P. Goerz Triëder 12x binoculars, serial number 2568, housed in contemporary button-fastened leather case hand-painted with address panel 'Ravenoaks, Penrith, Cumberland' and motifs including a tiger, fish, stags, fish, skull-and-crossbones and swastika, red velvet lining, binoculars and case both rubbed, binoculars in good working order; 2) a wooden fishing priest (approx. length 38 cm), pommel carved in shape of human head, grip carved in ropework pattern and incorporating 2 panels lettered 'A.B.B. Feb: 1895' and 'Simon the Salmon Slayer', notched shaft, grip and shaft sometime split and skilfully braced with 4 strips of metal (Qty: 2)NOTESArthur Brooks Broadhurst (1860-1930) was an officer in the 14th (King's) Hussars, and author of the rare privately-printed journal Three Months Tiger Shooting the Deccan (Secunderabad, 1884). He was born at Cheetham Hill, Lancashire and later lived at Penrith; his father was the industrialist Henry Tootal Broadhurst. He reached the rank of captain and was gazetted adjutant of auxiliary forces in 1888. Broadhurst's authorship of Three Months Tiger Shooting appears only now to have come to light through the emergence of his autograph manuscript (see the previous lot): it was previously attributed only to 'A. B. B.', the moniker carved into the fishing priest.
A makeup reference cast and archive photos used to create the prosthetics for John Merrick's (John Hurt) head, from the production of David Lynch's biopic drama The Elephant Man. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, but there was no category for makeup at the time. The intricate prosthetics created by Christopher Tucker was so admired that there was widespread criticism of the Academy for failing to honour his team's work. Such was the impact and influence of the film's makeup effects that the next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences created an award category for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.The lot consists of a painted plaster cast of John Merrick's head from Tucker's production workshop; 40 Polaroids depicting the creative and experimental process behind assembling the unique shape of Merrick's skull, teeth, face and jaw (one of which shows Tucker in his workshop face to face with a plaster cast); 16 large photographs, 10 of which depict headshots of Merrick, and six depicting Tucker working on and maintaining the prosthetics in his studio. This plaster head cast can be seen in the images, between Tucker and Hurt in the workshop. The photographs provide a rare glimpse behind the scenes of The Elephant Man and Tucker himself has stated that the colour photographs are the only ones of the Elephant Man that exist. The item shows minimal signs of wear and aging, and the 16 large photos and Polaroids show printer and exposure faults. However, the plaster makeup reference remains in very good condition. Dimensions (cast): 76 cm x 61 cm x 50 cm (29 3/4" x 24" x 19 3/4"); (large photos): 61 cm x 51 cm (24" x 20"); (medium photos): 21 cm x 25 cm (8 1/2" x 9 3/4")£5000-7000 M
A mounted 5-foot tyrannosaurus rex skull from J.A. Bayona's action-adventure sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The tyrannosaurus rex skull was prominently seen in the Lockwood Library as Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) led Mr. Eversoll (Toby Jones) past it and into the nearby lift, which provided access to his underground research facility. This skull was also featured on actor Chirs Pratt's Instagram feed in a behind-the-scenes photo on 23 March 2017. Prioritising authenticity in order to achieve Bayona's vision for, as the director put it, "bringing dinosaurs into our world", set decorators sought out and rented scientifically accurate cast fossil skeletons for the Lockwood scene.

An alien creature maquette from the production of David Fincher's sci-fi horror sequel Alien3. After the events of Aliens, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was the sole survivor of the Sulaco, crash-landing on a prison planet. When she discovered that a xenomorph egg survived the crash and a new creature had been born, Ripley joined forces with the convicts to destroy the species once and for all. Maquettes were used as a visual aid during the development of the look of the new xenomorph. This was an important part of the pre-production process, as prior incarnations of the xenomorph had been gestated in humans. In Alien3, the xenomorph gestates in an animal ۠initially a cow, but this was changed to a dog in the final cut. To make the creature more animalistic, it was designed to be quadrupedal when running, although it could stand bipedally. The maquette was designed by Academy Award-winners Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, as well as Chris Halls (now Cunningham), and was inspired by H.R. Giger's original design. This particular maquette was the master copy; the first one out of the mould. Halls sculpted the model and it was hand-painted by Gino Acevedo, an FX industry veteran, renowned for his painting techniques. His name is signed and dated at the bottom of one of the feet. Once completed, the maquette was sent to Boss Films to be used as a paint guide for their "Go-Motion" puppet. Woodruff appeared in the film in the xenomorph suit for all close-ups and wide shots. The maquette is made of resin, features a translucent skull, and there are two small cavities on the bottom of the shoulder blades which were caused by air pockets during the first casting. The tail is a seperate piece and was also a paint-reference master. It attaches to the main body to complete the creature's iconic look. The maquette is displayed on a wooden stand with a metal rod for support. There is some wear from age and production use. The tip of the tail has broken off and there are small areas where the paint has worn away. Dimensions: 75 cm x 50 cm x 137 cm (29 1/2" x 19 3/4" x 54")£10000-15000 Ω
