Remarkable color glossy 10 x 7.75 photo of the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle as it returned from the surface of the moon to dock with the command module Columbia on July 21, 1969. Neatly signed in blue ballpoint, “Neil Armstrong,” against the lunar backdrop. Accompanying is an amazing and historic collection of 35 color glossy 7.75 x 10 or 10 x 7.75 photos taken by Armstrong on the surface of the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission. Each image, from mankind’s first excursion to another object in the sky, was captured by Armstrong. Among the instantly recognizable photos are Buzz Aldrin’s slow descent from the relative safety of the Eagle, Aldrin standing next to the American flag, and of course a dramatic shot of Armstrong’s footprint in the fine lunar soil. Overall fine condition with a few small creases or surface marks, very faint edge curling to some photos, and a bit of emulsion crazing along the far left edge of the signed photo. According to the consignor, he acquired this historic set of image through a friend who had gotten them from astronaut Wally Schirra, and are one of only fifty sets of prints made from Armstrong’s negatives. In 1976, the consignor attended a dinner at which the first moonwalker was presented with an award, and asked Armstrong to autograph the image captured by Collins. The set and signed photo have been in the consignor’s possession since that memorable encounter 35 years ago. Accompanied by an unsigned program and seating assignment from the event. An unbelievably desirable collection of images as seen—and photographed—by Armstrong with a signed image of his return voyage! Many of the unsigned images are available for viewing online.
