Description
Finest Example We Have Seen
Mercury Seven Astronauts: Early NASA Group Photo Signed by
All. A 10" x 8" B&W matte finish photo picturing the first
seven astronauts chosen by NASA for their Man in Space project.
This photo, showing the astronauts inspecting a Mercury Atlas
model, was one of a series of photos taken at Langley Research
Center, April 1959. All seven of these brave men, who laid the
groundwork for America's space program, have signed in various inks
with the earliest forms of their signatures: "Alan B Shepard
Jr", "Walter M. Schirra Jr", "John H. Glenn,
Jr.", "Virgil I. Grissom", "M. Scott Carpenter",
"Donald K. Slayton", and "Leroy G. Cooper, Jr". The
quality of signatures on this piece are the finest Heritage has
offered. Virtually no fading and only a slight smudge on the
Carpenter signature. Slight corner bumps, overall very fine.
