Vintage color magazine cover from the September 14, 1959, issue of Life, trimmed to a size of 10.25 x 9, signed vertically in various color inks by all seven astronauts: “M. Scott Carpenter,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” “Leroy G. Cooper,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Donald K. Slayton,” and “Walter M. Schirra.” Some scattered light creases, and old tape repair to top left, slightly touching Schirra’s face, and a couple other tape remnants to lower corner tips, otherwise fine condition. No magazine covered the early days of the space race better than Life, with almost exclusive access to the astronauts and their families. Signed color images with all seven ‘formal’ signatures are quite elusive. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
