A framed tricorder concept illustration hand-drawn by Wah Chang for Gene Roddenberry's classic sci-fi series Star Trek. Visual effects artist Chang designed several iconic contraptions and creatures for the series, including phasers, Tribbles, and tricorders, and later built the first two tricorders for Roddenberry's approval in his Altadena, CA, shed. This concept illustration remained in Chang's possession into the 1980s.

This concept illustration is rendered in pencil on drawing paper signed by Chang and mounted behind glass in a wood frame painted black. The reverse is labeled "Pre-Production Tri-Corder Star Trek Wah Chang" and numbered "40A." The frame exhibits significant chipping on the bottom left with paint flaking and nicks throughout. Dimensions: (framed) 12" x 15" x 0.5" (30.5 cm x 38.25 cm x 1.5 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
