William Ware Theiss' Ephemera - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 1969) OR OTHER PRODUCTION


A collection of William Ware Theiss ephemera from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. This collection consists of a printed 1989 Christmas card addressed to Bill Theiss from Gene Roddenberry, an Academy of Television Arts & Sciences printed certificate that reads ‘Honor For Contributing to the Success of the 38th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards by Serving as a Blue Ribbon Panelist’, a name tag for an early Star Trek Convention held in 1975 with an attached ‘Honored Guest” ribbon, an invitation to the Star Trek: The Next Generation 1987 Christmas Party, a program for Roddenberry’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star dedication, and a memo from Roddenberry to ‘All Concerned’ requesting confidentiality to safeguard their Star Trek: The Motion Picture scripts as Star Trek fans, bless them, have a nearly insatiable appetite for such things and could easily have…copies of the script circulating long before we ever got to the screen’.

This ephemera comes from series costume designer William Ware Theiss’ personal collection, having been stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, the collection is in very fine vintage condition overall.

Dimensions: (largest): 11” x 8 ½” (28 cm x 22 cm);
