Desirable official color glossy 13.5 x 10.75 NASA photo of the iconic ‘Earthrise’ hovering over the lunar horizon during the Apollo 8 mission, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Kent, with best wishes & many thanks for all your help! Bill Anders, Apollo 8,” “Frank Borman,” “James Lovell,” and “Jack Swigert, Apollo 13.” The photo, which is affixed to its original 20 x 16 cardstock mount, is also signed by legendary flight director Glynn S. Lunney. In very good to fine condition, with scattered faint foxing to the mount, and light scuffing and surface impressions to the image.
Originates from the collection of American diplomat and former Foreign Service officer Kent Crane, who served as the former Special Assistant to Vice President Spiro Agnew and acted as a liaison between the White House and NASA during the Apollo Program. A close friend of the astronauts, Crane enjoyed fishing with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins and hunting game alongside Gene Cernan, Tom Stafford, and Wally Schirra.
