Description

Group of 11 original vintage glossy 10 x 8 silver gelatin photographs of the lunar surface taken by Lunar Orbiters, mostly featuring oblique views of the moon's prominent features. The lot is highlighted by four examples of the so-called 'Picture of the Century' captured by Lunar Orbiter 2 in November 1966, showing a close-up detail view of the northern heart of the Crater Copernicus from an oblique angle, revealing the peaks and valleys of its rocky terrain. Before this historic image was returned to Earth, few realized the true nature of the lunar landscape—its majestic characteristics are perfectly captured in this iconic shot. In overall fine condition.
