Reproduction Background Cel Original Sericel Star Trek
This is a Limited Edition Sericel from the hit television show Star Trek. Star Trek stories usually depict the adventures of humans and aliens who serve in Starfleet, the space borne humanitarian and peacekeeping armada of the United Federation of Planets. The protagonists are essentially altruists whose ideals are sometimes imperfectly applied to the dilemmas presented in the series. The conflicts and political dimensions of Star Trek sometimes represent allegories for contemporary cultural realities: Star Trek: The Original Series addressed issues of the 1960s, just as later spin-offs have reflected issues of their respective decades. Issues depicted in the various series include war and peace, the value of personal loyalty, authoritarianism, imperialism, class warfare, economics, racism, religion, human rights, sexism and feminism, and the role of technology. * * Depicted here is the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 cruising at intergalatic speeds... * Original Printed Background and Animated Cel Overall Size of Background: 11 1/2" x 13 3/4" Overall Size of the Cel: 11" x 13" Excellent Condition This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "Star Trek."
