Shepard, Jr.," "Virgil I. Grissom," "John H. Glenn, Jr.," "M. Scott Carpenter," "Walter M. Schirra, Jr.," "Leroy S. Cooper, Jr.," and "Donald K. Slayton." In very good to fine condition, with slight fading to Shepard and Schirra, light speckled silvering to the image, a short tear to the lower right edge, and a trimmed top edge. A historic and highly sought fully signed image of NASA's inaugural astronaut class.
