Rare original vintage color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo (AS11-40-5863) showing Apollo 11 LMP Buzz Aldrin emerging from the Lunar Module 'Eagle,' preparing to descend the LM's ladder to become the second man to walk on the moon. Neil Armstrong, who had become the first to walk on the moon some 19 minutes earlier, took this historic photograph from the lunar surface. Reverse bears “A Kodak Paper” watermarks. In fine condition, with a couple of small surface creases in the top border, and a few small emulsion spots. A very scarce and sought-after image from mankind's first lunar landing mission.
