Outstanding vintage semi-glossy 13.75 x 16.5 silver gelatin photograph of the moon's surface taken by Lunar Orbiter 4 in May 1967, showing a detailed vertical view of the lava-filled lunar impact crater Plato. Affixed to a 16 x 18 mount, with a typed caption on the reverse, in full: "Lunar Orbiter IV - 24 inch Lens, High Resolution Photograph of Site 23.4 (KI-4147). This vertical photograph was taken by the Orbiter from an altitude of 1800 miles in a polar orbit. The central object is the crater Plato, 63 miles diameter, 7900 feet deep, located at 52°N, 10°W in lunar coordinates. The area covered in the photograph is about 170 miles on each side, for the portion of the S/C frame #127 shown." In very good to fine condition, with a block of toning to the center of the image and minor edgewear to the mount.
