STAR TREK
As Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, William Shatner and his crew travelled through space on intergalactic missions for each episode of Star Trek . Inspired in part by Jonathan Swift’s 1726 novel, Gulliver’s Travels , the show was created by the former Air Force pilot Gene Roddenberry and the first episode aired on September 8th, 1966. Set in the 23rd century, the plot showcased the crew’s mission to seek out new life and ‘boldly go where no man has gone before’. One of the highest-grossing franchises of all time, Star Trek featured one of television’s first multiracial casts, and is even said to have influenced the entrepreneur Steve Wozniak, who went on to co-found Apple Inc. in 1976. Each artwork from this collection is hand-signed by William Shatner.
