ITEM DESCRIPTION

Description
Up for your consideration is an original NASA photograph, from the 1970's or earlier. These photographs come from a large collection of near pristine photos, all well-protected, and housed in a safe for many years. In many instances, the collector has added notes or research for the photos (as shown, if available). These are 10" x 8"   

  • This photo is titled "The Project Mercury Astronauts in 1960" taken by Ralph Morse (American,1917 - 2014), who was perhaps NASA's most prestigious photographer. It is numbered B-60-1587.
  • An identical version of this photo sold at Skinner Auctions in 2017 for $2100 (plus the 26% buyer's premium). This one is in better condition, and being sold for significantly less.
This is an original NASA-issued gelatin silver print. There is official NASA black-numbering on the front. Additionally. there are original NASA captions on the back. The photograph is uncirculated.

Condition
Overall, the piece is in excellent condition, free of concerns. There are no creases, bends, fingerprints, or other concerns. One corner has a very small flaw in one corner. All four corners are reasonably crisp, with nothing that distracts. The colors are correct and unfaded.
