NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] NASA Lunar Surveyor Mosaic for Day 117, Survey D. Sectors 1 and 2 , about 1966. Vintage gelatin silver prints stapled to U.S. Geological Survey mounting sheet, 30 1/4 x 14 1/4 inches (770 x 360 mm), with approximately 85 mounted gelatin silver prints, each annotated in black or white ink with an index number. Fine condition. A remarkable artifact, redolent of the excitement of the first unmanned lunar landings, showing one of the legs of the lander and the lunar surface beyond. Since only around 200 usable examples of these Surveyor Moonscapes were successfully assembled (and only about 50% of these had clear imagery), they are without question among the most expensive photographs ever made since NASA spent millions of dollars on each one.
