RR Auction: Fine Autographs and Artifacts featuring Science and Technology

Auction Details


RR Auction’s June Fine Autographs & Artifacts sale offers more than 800 lots, headlined by special Science & Technology and Animation sections. We begin by tracing the history of science in a series of over fifty items, to include an autograph of Isaac Newton, a letter from Albert Einstein on the Unified Field Theory, a celestial map flown to the moon on Apollo 15, and an archive from the career of Carl Sagan. Our robust Animation feature boasts a wealth of production art from Walt Disney Studios, used for classics like Snow White, Fantasia, Pinocchio, and Sleeping Beauty. All this is in addition to our typical diverse selection of items—from presidents to pop stars. RR Auction is a globally recognized and trusted auction house specializing in historical autographs and artifacts. Join us as we make history selling history in June 2017.
