wooden plaque. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. original movie prop. Stained Wooden plaque (17" W x ~10 3/8" H) mounted with two steel plates (~14" W x ~ 6" H x 3/4-1" D) from the vessel "African Queen." The plates have a total of 18 rivets and a grouping of 4 bolts & nuts, which surround a 3/4" hole (seemingly from a former bolt). The left, lower plate has been signed in ink "Stephen Humphrey Bogart" by Humphrey Bogart's son. 7 lbs. 7 oz. A brass plate (10 3/8" W x 2" H) screwed onto the board reads: "THE AFRICAN QUEEN / Built in England, Great Britain in 1912 this piece of steel was removed from the vessel / The African Queen during her restoration in 2012 for her centennial year. / The boat was made famous in the 1951 movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, directed by John Huston and produced by Sam Spiegel and John Woolf." Two LARGE POVENANCED & MOUNTED FRAGMENTS from THE "AFRICAN QUEEN"! We also include a fine black & white promotional photo of the memorable "African Queen" depicting Kate Hepburn and Bogie in costume. Much of the film was shot in Technicolor with huge cameras in Uganda and the Congo in Africa. During the shooting on location, the cast and crew often suffered from sickness and had to endure rough living conditions. In one scene, Hepburn was playing an organ but had a bucket nearby because she was frequently sick between takes. Bogart later boasted that he was the only one to escape illness, which he attributed to not drinking any water, but instead fortifying himself with whiskey that he had brought. Because it was too dangerous to film actors Bogart and Hepburn in an actual croc-and-creature infested African rivers, the scenes in which Bogart and Hepburn are in leech-infested water were shot in studio tanks at Isleworth Studios, Middlesex. Because of the dangers involved when the "Afrtican Queen" went through rapids and over a waterfall, a model was used in the studio tank in London. Most of the action takes place aboard the African Queen of the movie's title. Many scenes aboard the boat were filmed using a raft with a mockup of the boat on top. Once, when removing sections of the boat to make room for the large Technicolor camera, a heavy copper replica of the boiler nearly fell on Hepburn. The small steam-boat used in the film to depict the African Queen was built in 1912, in England, for service in Africa. At one time it was owned by actor Fess Parker. In December 2011, plans were announced to restore the boat, and an auction was held to help pay for its restoration, which was completed by the following April. The African Queen is now on display at Key Largo, Florida. "The African Queen" is a 1951 adventure film adapted from C. S. Forester's 1935 novel. The film was directed by John Huston and produced by Sam Spiegel and John Woolf. The screenplay was adapted by James Agee, John Huston, John Collier and Peter Viertel. It was photographed in Technicolor by Jack Cardiff. The film stars Humphrey Bogart (who won an Academy Award for Best Actor), and Katharine Hepburn with Robert Morley, Peter Bull, and Theodore Bikel. The Library of Congress has declared the film "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." As World War I is about to begin, Rev. Samuel Sayer (Robert Morley) and his sister Rose (Katharine Hepburn) are British Methodist missionaries serving in a village in German East Africa. Their supplies are delivered by a small tramp steamer named the African Queen, captained by seedy Canadian boat captain Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart), whose crude behavior they can barely tolerate. Though Charlie warns them that war has broken out between Germany and Britain, the missionaries choose to stay, only to witness the Germans destroy their mission village. When the Germans drive off its natives, Reverend Samuel protests and is beaten by a German soldier. Afterwards, he becomes delirious and dies. When Charlie returns shortly afterward, he and Rose bury her brother and depart in the African Queen. After Charlie tells Rose that the Germans have a gun.
