Two Vogon heads clear in black - 35 x 18.5 cm. The final photolith as they appeared in episode 1. The two pencil drawings on tracing paper listed recently were a preparatory stage to reach this final camera artwork.
The way the graphic Vogons looked was developed by Rod Lord from pre-production photos of the prosthetics being prepared for live shooting. Pencil drawings were taped in position for the camera setup and traced with Rotring pen in black ink onto clear cell. This was then reversed by contacting onto photolith film in the darkroom for camera artwork to be back lit under the animation rostrum camera. All these various pieces of artwork were originally fixed onto paper layout keys or cells which in turn were taped to strips of 35mm film punched with peg registration holes. The aeons of time since they were created means that the sellotape or masking tape used to fix items in place for registration has long since dried up, become brittle, and separated.
