Very nice oversized color vintage glossy 11 x 14 photo of NASA’s Astronaut Group 2 also referred to as ‘The New Nine,’ proudly posing with a model of the Gemini capsule, and affixed to a 15.5 x 16 mount, signed on the mount in black ink by Neil Armstrong, Edward H. White II, Elliot See, James Lovell, James McDivitt, Charles Conrad, Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Frank Borman. In very good condition, with a central horizontal crease through image and mount, not affecting any of the signatures, top right corner of photo separating from mount, a few other light creases and scattered light surface marks and dings. All but See would fly in the Gemini program. He was slated to be the commander of Gemini 9, but died in a plane crash before the mission. The importance of the Gemini project cannot be overstressed as it bridged the gap between the Mercury and Apollo programs, enabling two of these Gemini astronauts to walk on the moon. Accompanied by a photocopied catalog page featuring this very photo and identifying it as being from White’s collection.
