Description

America's first astronauts marvel at the rocket that will carry them into history

Vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of the Mercury 7 astronauts with a model of a rocket, signed in various inks “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” “Walter M. Schirra, Jr.,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “M. Scott Carpenter,” “Donald K. Slayton,” and “Leroy S. Cooper, Jr.” A subtle shade of fading to signatures (all of which are nonetheless clear), slightly irregular adhesion to Grissom’s and Carpenter’s signatures (slight smudging to Carpenter), and mild rippling to left edge, otherwise fine condition. An uninscribed presentable example with the astronauts desirable ‘formal’ signatures. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
