Original vintage glossy 20.25 x 24 silver gelatin photograph of the moon’s Aristarchus crater, which was taken by the Lunar Orbiter V on August 14, 1967. The lower border is marked “NASA-LRC” and “V-198M.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing.
Originates from the personal collection of NASA engineer John B. Graham, Jr. (1934-2024), who worked side-by-side with many of the legendary astronauts from the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs, and served as head of recovery during the latter program. Amongst his many positions, Graham was responsible for reconstructing images that were taken from deep space for orbital tracking purposes. As such, he holds the honor of being the first person to ever view a photograph of the Earth from the moon's surface.
