Color satin-finish 14 x 10 photo of all seven Mercury astronauts in their flight gear with a jet in the background, signed vertcally in ink, “Scott Carpenter,” “Gordon Cooper,” “J. H. Glenn, Jr.,” “Gus Grissom,” “W. M. Schirra, Jr.,” “Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,” and “D. K. Slayton.” Schirra’s signature has faded over time and is difficult to distinguish. In very good condition, with rippling, scattered creasing and light staining, scattered spots of soiling, a few spots of edge chipping, and surface marks with a diagonal mark crossing the center of the page and passing through Shepard’s name. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner who explains that she was employed at Cape Canaveral in the early 1960s and was friends with many of the astronauts, affording her the opportunity to get the image signed—which they did with their much-less-common ‘formal’ autographs.
