Appealing group lot of 15 official color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photos deriving from the personal collection of astronaut Deke Slayton, with each photo showing uncommon images from the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, which involved the docking of an Apollo Command/Service Module and the Soviet Soyuz 19 capsule, an historic event that marked the conclusion of the Space Race. Images include: a view of Massachusetts and Cape Cod as seen from space; the Soyuz 19 floating high above Earth, as viewed from the Apollo CSM; Flight engineer Valeri Kubasov holding up a certificate; Kubasov and Commander Alexei Leonov floating in their capsule; Slayton floating and wearing a ‘Snoopy’ cap; and various other images of the crew in space. Reverse of each photo bears “This Paper Manufactured by Kodak” watermarks and a stamp indicating that it originates from the “‘Deke’ Slayton Estate Collection.” In overall fine to very fine condition.
