Superlative vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of the grinning Mercury Seven astronauts posing with a rocket model, Cooper holding the separated capsule in his hand, clearly signed in blue and black ballpoint in the blank lower margin “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” “Virgil I. Grissom,” “Walter M. Schirra, Jr.,” “M. Scott Carpenter,” “John H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Donald K. Slayton,” and “Leroy S. Cooper, Jr.” Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the daughter of the original owner, who was in the employ of the Shepard family for more than 35 years. Light crease to upper right corner and a small, faint bend to blank portion just above Shepard’s last name, otherwise fine, bright, fresh condition. A most handsome example of this historic and highly coveted group of astronauts! COA Scott Cornish and R&R COA.
