Walter Plunkett: One Complete Set of Six Costume Designs for GONE WITH THE WIND: All Signed and Numbered. WALTER PLUNKETT (California/New York, 1902-1982) Arguably one of the most popular films of the 20th Century, a landmark of movie making and box-office success that was based on a monstrous bestselling novel. MGM Studios spared no expense in the production and that included the costume designs by Walter Plunkett who worked on over 150 films during his incredibly prolific career earning him 10 Academy Award nominations and one Oscar. Walter Plunkett was involved with the signing and selling of this limited edition portfolio in the mid-1970s, featuring lithograph copies of his Gone with the Wind costume sketches. There was a limited run of only 1000 sets, each with five of his sketches of costumes for Vivien Leigh's Scarlett, and one of Clark Gable's Rhett. All sketches in this set are personally signed and numbered in pencil by Plunkett in the lower left just below the image and this one is numbered 342/1000. They are housed in a white folder, and separated by sheets of tissue. Also included is a full sheet with Plunkett's filmography, and a copy of a sketch of the artist himself. A very lightly examined, unrestored portfolio near mint folio with fresh, saturated colors. Estimated Value $300 - UP
