Original vintage semi-glossy 13.5 x 15.75 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 5 in August 1967, showing a high-detail oblique view of the Vallis Alpes, or Alpine Valley. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in full: "Lunar Orbiter V - 24 Inch Lens, High Resolution Photograph of Site V-25 (KI-5120). This oblique photograph of the Alpine Valley was taken by Orbiter V from an altitude of about 110 miles during a polar orbit. Alpine Valley is located about 49°N and 3°E in lunar coordinates. North is toward the upper left corner in this view. The irregular line extending vertically through the photograph is a river on the valley floor. This river and other detailed structure are ordinarily not seen in telephoto pictures from the earth. The total length of the valley is about 70 miles and approximately 15 miles of it is shown here. Its width varies from about 2.5 to 5 miles. S/C Frame #102." In fine condition, with a light block of toning to image and slight edgewear to the mount.
