Important American Wooden Doll "Elmer" Created for the Film "On Golden Pond" with Provenance

Lot #294

19" (48 cm.) Included are two wooden dolls created by artist Michael Langton for the 1981 film "On Golden Pond", including very roughly carved wooden doll with original deep split in face and scuffed finish, and more finely carved wooden doll with well-defined features. The second doll, which is chip carved of darkened wood, has swivel neck and swivel waist, and crude jointing at shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, well-defined fingers and shoes, carved facial features, scruffy short hair, and is wearing original wool sailor costume. Condition: generally excellent as made. Marks: To Elmer with love and thanks, Michael Langton (ink script on back torso) Best wishes from your creator (ink script on front torso with initials, and painted red heart). Comments: the storyline of the 1981 film "On Golden Pond" required a wooden doll that the star Katherine Hepburn had played with as a child; Michael Langton was commissioned to create the doll based upon pencil sketch and notes created by the director Stephen Grimes which included the deep split in face; the first attempt by Langton was judged too simplistic and a second attempt commissioned by Grimes produced the doll actually used in the film. Those are the dolls offered here, acquired from the artist in 2004 by the Rosalie Whyel Museum (not to be confused with later limited edition replicas created by Langton). Value Points: important one of a kind artist doll with provenance by renowned artist Michael Langton, 1980, the collection includes both wooden dolls, the original sketch by Stephen Grimes, historical notes by Langton, and other memorabilia.
