Description

Fully signed day-after-splashdown newspaper

Uncommon front page of the Miami Herald dated July 25, 1969, 14.5 x 23, featuring a main article addressing the return of the Apollo 11 crew, with the headline reading “Moon-Walk Heroes Home Safe.” Signed on the article photo in black ink, “Buzz Aldrin,” and in black ballpoint, “Mike Collins” and “Neil Armstrong.” Cloth-matted and framed with a large photo of the crew and two engraved plaques detailing the mission and President Nixon’s post-landing congratulations to an overall size of 37 x 30.5 x 37. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds and expected overall age toning. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication. Autographed by the Apollo 11 crew soon after their exhausting mission and subsequent quarantine, this next-day newspaper is enhanced by its handsome presentation and historical significance. Oversized. Please contact RR Auction for a shipping quote.
