AMERICAN SPACE MISSIONS

Mercury Seven Astronauts: Signatures of All on Three Sheets with a Fabulous Dean Conger Color Photograph with Three Letters of Authenticity from Steve Zarelli, in Matted Display. On one sheet are the signatures, in blue inks, of: "John H. Glenn", "Virgil I. Grissom", "Leroy G Cooper, Jr", "Donald K. Slayton", and "A B Shepard". On separate white sheets in black inks: "M. Scott Carpenter" and "Wally Schirra". They are matted to an overall 25.5" x 20" with a 19.5" x 8.5" color photo of our nation's first group of astronauts, all posed casually in business suits, seated, standing, or leaning at a long table holding a globe and a spacecraft model. They are all definitely showing more of an "attitude" than in the normal press photos from this period. Taken at the Space Task Group offices at Langley Field in Virginia in January 1960 for a magazine article. A gorgeous display. Zarelli LOAs included. Very fine.
