Alfred Worden (American, b. 1932) Crescent Earth rising beyond the Moon's barren horizon, Apollo 15, August 1971. Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 in. (16.3 x 19.8 cm), unmatted. Condition: Good. N.B. As the spacecraft was in its 70th revolution rounding the Moon's farside approaching Crater Humboldt, Alfred Worden captured with the 250mm telephoto lens this magnificent sight of 'a gleaming white sliver of Earth rising above the lunar horizon' (National Geographic, February 1972, p. 257). "The photographs are a permanent reminder that we're just a little part of the universe,' noted Worden. 'We're not the center of anything" (quoted in Schick and Van Haaften, p. 109). The NASA negative number is AS15-97-13267. Literature: Chaikin, Voices, p. 168; Schick and Van Haaften, p. 109.
