Vintage matte-finish 12.5 x 13 photo of the Mercury astronauts in their pressure suits, signed in the lower border in fountain pen and ballpoint. “Alan Shepard,” “Gus Grissom,” “Gordon Cooper,” “W. M. Schirra,” “D. K. Slayton,” “J. H. Glenn, Jr.,” and “Scott Carpenter.” In fine condition, with some very mild rippling. This photo shoot was the only occasion on which all seven astronauts were captured together in their pressure suits. Note that Slayton and Glenn are wearing spray-painted work boots. A scarce and desirable grouping, coupled with the fact they are all in their pressure suits, makes this a wonderful example from this earliest chapter of manned space exploration.
