Land of the Giants

An original drawing used in the production of Land of the Giants, the classic 1960s American television series created by Irwin Allen.

This is the original technical drawing for the cabin door on the interior Spindrift set. The design is hand drawn and accomplished in pencil on vellum paper with specification box to the bottom right containing a number of production details, it features various scale elevations of the cabin door and includes a number of notes relating to the construction to include rigging the door to slide on tracks to open and to finish only one side of the door. This original drawing would have been reproduced by production with the copied blueprints given to various departments involved in the set design and construction. The drawing is stamped with the date AUG 9 1967 in black ink and is noted as being sheet 1 of 1.

The drawing remains in incredible condition and has clearly been carefully stored since its creation during the production with only minor foxing to the fold marks, very fine. In folded condition the plan measures 36" x 25" and is approximately 9 times larger than regular A4.

A rare example of an original hand drawn design and interesting production artefact from this highly regarded Irwin Allen production.
