Crew-signed 'Earthrise'—a superb example of an enduring image of the Apollo era

Scarce official color 10 x 8 NASA lithograph of the iconic Apollo 8 'Earthrise,' signed in black felt tip by Frank Borman, James Lovell, and Bill Anders. In fine condition, with a couple trivial surface marks. An excellent crew-signed example of this classic photograph, which has become one of the enduring images of the 20th century. In Life's 2003 book 100 Photographs that Changed the World, wilderness photographer Galen Rowell called Earthrise 'the most influential environmental photograph ever taken.' On the 50th anniversary of taking the shot, Anders reflected: 'We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth.'
