Throughout the 1980s, Harper Goff contributed heavily to the design of Disney World's EPCOT Center, particularly the World Showcase's Japan, United Kingdom, and Italy Pavilions as well as other unrealized Pavilions. This visual archive extensively covers his later theme park work for Disney. Goff's designs for unrealized attractions like Pleasure Island and the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride Vulcania are also well-represented here. (Goff's Vulcania designs were later partially incorporated into Tokyo Disneyland's DisneySeas.) The photograph album in this lot is devoted almost exclusively to Goff's work on EPCOT, including snapshots of concept art, miniatures of the Pavilion, and much more, up to and beyond EPCOT's opening. Goff is shown in one photograph posing with EPCOT's Spaceship Earth globe in the background. Artwork and reproductions: approximately 14 x 17 in. to 27 x 43.5 in.; loose photographs: 11 x 14 to 15 x 17 in.; album: 2.75 x 12.5 x 16.5 in.
