Description

Rare large example of Apollo 11’s iconic ‘visor shot,’ famously taken by Neil Armstrong and picturing Buzz Aldrin in the Sea of Tranquility

Rare original color semi-glossy 11 x 14 textured NASA photo of the famed Apollo 11 ‘visor shot,’ AS11-40-5903, which shows LMP Buzz Aldrin standing on the lunar surface in the Sea of Tranquility landing site with his visor holding the small reflection of the photographer, CDR Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. This example features Reseau crosses and the added upper black section; when Armstrong took the original photograph, the top of Aldrin’s OPS sat at the top edge of the field of view. When the image was prepared for publication, it was cropped at the bottom and sides and a black area was added at the top to give the released version visual balance. The reverse bears “A Kodak Paper” watermarks. In very fine condition, with lightly trimmed edges.
