Photographs

A large group of assorted NASA positives, negatives, slides, transparencies, and film prints of various sizes and formats, documenting American Space Programs from ca. 1965-1985, especially Gemini 5 and STS-6 and STS-9. N.p. Featuring the autographs of Alan Bean (1932-2018), Apollo 12 and Skylab 3 astronaut (1 signature); as well as L. Gordon Cooper, Jr. (1927-2004), Mercury-Atlas 9 and Gemini 5 astronaut (121 signatures). The majority of the images are housed in carefully annotated manila archival sleeves, while a handful of photos are loose. Expected wear to the photo holders including isolated stains, tape residue, chipped edges, and isolated loss. Please refer to catalog photos for additional information related to condition, which is overall very good. Photo sizes range from tiny contact-sized at the smallest, to the largest photos housed in 5.5" x 8.75" manila photo holders. The total number of pieces in this lot is approximately 208, but some envelopes contain multiple photos and were not individually checked, so the number of photos is probably much higher. This item has been pre-certified by space expert Steve Zarelli. If you wish to purchase a comprehensive COA, please contact him directly via zarellispaceauthentication.com.
