Description

Uncommon pair of identical 45.75 x 20.5 panoramic posters of the Earth as viewed from high above the lunar terrain, an image originally taken by the Lunar Orbiter 1, the first American spacecraft to orbit the moon, with a lower caption reading: “Historic First Photo of Earth from Deep Space / Taken August 23rd, 1966 by NASA—Boeing Lunar Orbiter I, Distance from Earth-232,000 mi.—Altitude above Moon-730 mi.” Both are rolled and in very good to fine condition, with some light creases, edgewear, and dampstaining to borders, flaws that could be matted out if so desired. Accompanied by their original press release from “News Bureau, The Boeing Company."
