Moonwalkers Lithograph
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Enormous signed 31'' x 25'' color lithograph of the twelve astronauts who have flown to the moon. The late Jim Irwin was the first to sign the print in 1986 and 10 other moonwalkers have added their autographs over the years. All six lunar landings are represented by the 11 moonwalkers who have signed this print: Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Jim Irwin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke, John Young, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt. The remaining moonwalker, Neil Armstrong is the scarcest autograph, but is still alive. Lithograph was painted by artist Ron Lewis, in an edition of 1,000, signed and numbered. Printed on acid-free, very heavy stock in pristine condition. Each portrait was done from the astronaut's NASA white space suit portrait, and beside each bust is a small vignette of the astronaut in action (Conrad with Surveyor, Shepard's chip shot, etc.). Three of the astronauts who signed, including the first man in space, Alan Shepard; the third man on the moon, Charles Conrad; and James Irwin, have passed away. Due to their deaths, hardly any material exists bearing the autographs of all of these astronauts.
