Interesting grouping of material related to Otto Berg's iconic photomosaic of Earth from space, created using imagery captured on a 16mm movie camera flown 100 miles high aboard an Aerobee rocket on October 5, 1954. This archive contains enlargements of the 16mm negatives to 4″ x 3″ frames (22 sheets, most with six images per sheet), plus circa 1970s color contact sheet prints of those negatives (22 sheets, 8 x 10, with "This Paper Manufactured by Kodak" watermarks on the reverse). Additionally includes an original vintage glossy 10 x 8 silver gelatin photo of Berg exhibiting the complete mosaic, stamped on the reverse: "Credit: Smithsonian Institution National Air Museum, Oct. 5, 1962." In overall very good to fine condition, with some scattered soiling.
From the collection of Dr. Otto Berg.
