Historic original vintage glossy 9 x 13.5 silver gelatin photograph of the crescent Earth over the lunar surface, taken by Lunar Orbiter 1 on August 23, 1966. Affixed to a same-size mount. A detailed, technical caption is affixed on the reverse, in part: "This earth photograph was taken at 235:16:35 GMT or 16:35 GMT on August 23, 1966. The time is, therefore, 12:35 pm EDT. The spacecraft was about 592 km above the lunar surface. In the photograph the lunar horizon is at a distance of 1552 km from the spacecraft." In very good to fine condition, with minor dings and creasing to edges, a tiny surface chip to upper right corner, and subtle foxing to caption and reverse.
