Roosa’s set of four oversized 20 x 24 lunar surface photographs from the Apollo 14 mission, housed in their original ring-bound storage folder, comprised of two dense cardstock boards, the front of which is marked “Roosa” in the upper right corner and features an affixed label: “Apollo 14 Landmarks / RP-3, RP-5 (Rev 15) / RP-2, 12-1 (Rev 18) / RP-4, Ansgarius N, Encke E (Rev 29) / Lunar Orbiter Photos.” The photos are respectively identified as “I-136M,” “I-115M, NASA-LRC,” “II-196M, NASA-LRC,” and “IV-I38HI, NASA-LRC,” and each photo bears felt tip notations and a capital “N” letter with an arrow indicating the camera’s north-heading direction. Of note is the fourth image, which contains images of “Ocean of Storms,” the landing site of the Apollo 12 mission, and the craters “Encke” and “Encke C,” named after German mathematician and astronomer Johann Franz Encke. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered wear to the edges and borders, such as creases and stains, and some tearing to and around the punch holes.
