Superb color glossy 9.25 x 6.5 photo of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong working at an equipment storage area on the Lunar Module Eagle, one of only a few images that show Armstrong during mankind’s historic first moonwalk, affixed to a 10 x 8.25 cardstock mount, which is signed below in blue felt tip by Armstrong. In very fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication.
Given CDR Neil Armstrong’s role as the main photographer of the Apollo 11 mission, the vast majority of EVA photos taken on the lunar surface only depict LMP Buzz Aldrin, with images of Armstrong being mostly consigned to pictures of his shadow or his reflection within Aldrin’s visor. However, thanks to the Lunar Module’s onboard camera, a few photos of Armstrong were indeed snapped during the Apollo 11 lunar visit, which includes one of Armstrong about to take his famous first step, another of Aldrin and Armstrong setting up the American flag, and this image of the commander working on the Eagle.
