Original vintage semi-glossy 13.75 x 9 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 5 in August 1967, showing a detailed near-vertical view of Crater Stevinus from polar orbit. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in full: "Lunar Orbiter V - 80mm Lens, Medium Resolution Photograph of Site V-4 (KI-5020). This photograph was taken from an altitude of about 120 miles giving a nearly vertical view from a polar orbit. North is on the left. The main subject in the upper right hand corner is the crater Stevinus located at 33° S, 57° E. This crater is a difficult subject to observe by telescope from the earth because of its position on the moon. It is about 46 miles in diameter and 5,400 feet deep. Stevinus is classed as a relatively new crater in terms of lunar history. Primary readout. S/C Frame #40." In fine condition, with some edgewear to the mount.
