Impressive leatherbound photo album honoring the first Space Shuttle flight, 6 x 4.5, gilt-stamped on the cover with a presidential seal, featuring six images from throughout the STS-1 mission. The first page bears a printed facsimile copy of President Reagan’s message to the astronauts, with a card on the opposite side printed in italics, “Presidential Luncheon Honoring Space Shuttle Columbia Astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen, the White House, Washington, DC, May 19, 1981.” Few of these albums exist as they were intended only for the participants in a special presidential luncheon held at the Executive Mansion.
