Original vintage semi-glossy 13.75 x 16 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 5 in August 1967, showing a detailed near-vertical view of Schroter's Valley. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in part: "Lunar Orbiter V - 80mm Lens, Medium Resolution Photograph of Site V-49 (KI-5092). This nearly vertical photograph of Schroter's Valley (Cobra Head) and part of Aristarchus and Herodotus was taken by Orbiter V from an altitude of about 80 miles during a polar orbit. This photograph is one in a rapid series of four overlapping photographs. The snake-like feature starting in the center of the photograph and extending to the lower-left corner is Schroter's Valley, the partial crater in the center-right is Herodotus, and the partial crater in the upper-right corner of the photograph is Aristarchus…The lunar coordinates of Schroter's Valley are about 25°N and 49°W and north is on the left of this photograph. The detailed structure on the valley floor is ordinarily not seen in telescope photos from the earth." In very good to fine condition, with a faint block of toning to the center of the image and minor edgewear to the mount.
