Original vintage semi-glossy 13.5 x 13 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 5 in August 1967, showing a detailed near-vertical view of Crater Petavius from polar orbit. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in full: "Lunar Orbiter V - 80mm Lens, Medium Resolution Photograph of Site V-1 (KI-5017). This nearly vertical photograph showing about two-thirds of the 110 mile diameter crater Petavius was taken from an altitude of about 90 miles during a polar orbit. Petavius is located at 25° S, 60° E near the limb of the moon. A companion photograph taken simultaneously with the 24-inch lens shows the central mountains of the crater in more detail. Primary read-out. S/C Frame #34." In very good to fine condition, with chipping to edges of the mount.
