Superb glossy 8 x 10 full-length photo of Mercury pilot Alan Shepard being lifted aboard the Sikorsky H-34 helicopter following the successful splashdown of his Freedom 7 capsule, signed in black felt tip. In very good to fine condition, with light scuffing and creasing, and a light paperclip impression to the top edge. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication. A visually appealing photo that offers an uncommon downward view of Shepard's dramatic oceanic rescue.
