Gene Cernan’s pair of official color semi-glossy NASA photographs, both 13.75 x 10.75 and affixed to their original 16 x 13 cardstock mounts, the reverse of both annotated in black ink by Cernan, “Please Ret to G. Cernan” and “Pls Ret to G. Cernan.” The images show astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin raising the United States flag at the Apollo 11 lunar landing site and CDR Gene Cernan saluting the American flag during the Apollo 17 mission. In overall very good to fine condition, with adhesive remnants and wear to borders, and uniform boxes of toning from prior displays.
Very few photos of Neil Armstrong on the moon exist, as he was the chief photographer during the Apollo 11 EVAs—this remarkable image was taken by the 16mm Data Acquisition Camera that was mounted inside the Lunar Module. It is one of the iconic photographs of the 20th century, captured at the mission's triumphant climax when the stars and stripes were first unfurled on another celestial body.
