Unusual group lot of eight vintage original NASA photos, glossy and semi-glossy, ranging in size from 3.5 x 3.5 to 7.5 x 4.25, each commemorating the Faith 7 flight of Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper. The lot includes: a color full-length portrait of Cooper in his space suit; a nighttime view of the Mercury Program monument; and a group of eight early Polaroid photos of Cooper relaxing, undergoing a training exercise, and during a dinner ceremony. The photo of Cooper laughing with another gentleman annotated in another hand: "We're swapping dirty stories. Gordo said tell you he dropped in for a short beer!" In overall fine condition, with some smudging to annotated photo. From the M. Edward Thomas Collection.
