Description
Signed, handwritten quotes from every member of a most exclusive group.
Apollo Moonwalkers: Twelve Individual Lunar Surface Astronaut Photos, each Individually Captioned and Signed on the Mat. An incredibly amazing and unique assemblage of photos, each matted and presented to the pictured astronaut with the request to essentially caption and sign beneath the image on the mat. These were compiled by one patient and creative collector over a period of many years, some obtained through the mail and some at private signings. None are inscribed. Following is a list of each item in order of stepping on the moon:(1) "Mid-Morning at Tranquility Base-/ Neil Armstrong/ Apollo 11". Mat size: 13" x 12".

What a fabulous wall-sized display these would make for some lucky bidder's home or business. Certainly, no one else would have one just like it. Sadly, four of these noble explorers are no longer with us so creating another grouping like this is not possible. All mats are of archival quality and in excellent condition.
