Thought this was going to be easy, eh? I know it's supposed to be the E-C, but has anyone seen it elsewhere?

No, to my knowledge it was never used anywhere else...

THE ENTERPRISE-C?? Is this a joke; just kidding. It's an early version of an Ambassador Class before the episode "Yesterday's Enterprise." The wall-o-ship was built before the episode, and needed an Enterprise-C to go there. But it looks something like one of the ships in the Wolf 359 graveyard from "Best of Both Worlds." Either that or one of the background ships I saw in a Deep Space Nine episode, the Dominion War ones.

This is obviously the ship. Andrew Probert says he designed the ship for an early TNG episode, but an old model (probably Excelsior) was used instead. I wonder why he doesn't mention the ship on the wall, which was defintely supposed to be the E-C from eth very beginning of TNG.

The Art of Star Trek says about the same drawing that it was supposed to be the E-D.

It could be the one Probert (I think) painted before TNG was announced.

That wall-o-Enterprise's, when did it first show up in the Obseveration Lounge? It's just that in "All Good Things..." when Picard is in the past that wall is there.

Well, I don't know in what episode it was first visible, but it was there from rather early on. Sometime, maybe fourth or fifth season (I don't really remember), they got rid of it. Someone made a replica of it specifically for the past scenes in AGT.

Actually, I think in the early years of TNG, the Obs Lounge wall was a display of a random spattering of Federation ships (there were two unfinalized Galaxies on it, IIRC), and in later years became a display of he Enterprises (complete w/the Aircraft Carrier). For AGT... they turned it back in an effort to replicate E@F.
