Vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of the grinning Mercury Seven astronauts posing with a model rocket, inscribed in another hand, "To the Browne's with best wishes from the Mercury Astronauts,” and signed below in various inks, "Alan B. Shepard," "Walter M. Schirra, Jr.," "John H. Glenn, Jr.," "Virgil I. Grissom," "M. Scott Carpenter," "Donald K. Slayton," and "Leroy S. Cooper, Jr." Typed collector's notations on the reverse indicate that this was signed "during the early years of NASA thru the courtesy of John Glenn." In very good condition, with moderate overall creasing, heaviest to the left half. As a fully signed photograph of America's first astronaut cohort, this is an especially desirable photograph.
