Our expert's notes

A hand-coloured print depicting a Drax Enterprise space suit from Lewis Gilbert’s spy film Moonraker. The eleventh film in the franchise, James Bond (Roger Moore) is called upon once more to investigate the theft of a space shuttle, only to discover a plot to commit global genocide by billionaire tycoon Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale).
This piece comes from the estate of Oscar-nominated production designer Harry Lange. Lange was working for NASA’s Future Project department when Stanley Kubrick hired him to conceive and design the technology featured in the ground-breaking 2001: A Space Odyssey, for which he received an Oscar nomination. Lange then went on to play a key role in numerous noteworthy films, including Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Moonraker.

This image, illustrated by Harry Lange, is composed on paper, and the hand-coloured renditions are added in paint and pencil along with the subtitle, “Suit B” in pencil. “Drax Colour” is crossed out. The paper has yellowed with age and shows a lot of wear and tear as well as a torn corner (lower right) and small water spots but is in otherwise good condition.
