Original vintage semi-glossy 13.5 x 15.75 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 5 in August 1967, showing a near-vertical view of the Hyginus Rille. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in full: "Lunar Orbiter V - 24 Inch Lens, High Resolution Photograph of Site V-23 (KI-5121). This nearly vertical photograph of the main crater at the intersection of the two arms of the Hyginus Rille was taken by Orbiter V from an altitude of about 60 miles during a polar orbit. Hyginus Rille is located about 8°N and 6°E in lunar coordinates. The crater covers the entire upper-left corner in this view. This photograph is one in a rapid series of four overlapping photographs. North is on the left in this view. The total length of the rille is about 140 miles and the diameter of this crater is about 5 miles. S/C Frame #94." In very good to fine condition, with a few surface scratches to image and slight edgewear to the mount.
