Group lot of 15 vintage original NASA photographs from the Apollo 14 mission, each glossy finished, 8 x 10 and 10 x 8, with the majority bearing purple NASA caption text on reverse. The bulk of the photos document preflight training exercises and pictures of the prime crew waiting in their space suits mere hours before liftoff. Images include: an uncommon crew portrait of Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa, and Edgar Mitchell posing together on a lunar lander; an armadillo joining Shepard as he checks items on a modular equipment carrier during EVA training; Shepard deploying the American flag during a suited training exercise; the prime crew as they embark on their nine-mile ride to Launch Complex 39A; backup LMP Joe Engle using a 'thumper' during EVA training; and the backup crew of Gene Cernan, Ron Evans, and Engle speaking with nurse Dee O'Hara. In overall fine condition, with some slight wear to edges. From the M. Edward Thomas Collection.
