Michael Collins (American, b. 1930) The forbidding lunar farside, Apollo 11, July 1969. Numbered 'NASA AS11-44-6609' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto u.l. margin. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 x 7 1/8 in. (17.5 x 18.0 cm), unmatted. Condition: Good. N.B. The view shows the lunarscape at the center of the lunar farside near Daedalus Crater. 'When the Sun is shining on the surface at a very shallow angle, the craters cast long shadows and the Moon's surface seems very inhospitable, forbidding almost. I did not sense any great invitation on the part of the Moon for us to come into its domain,' said Collins. 'I sensed more almost a hostile place, a scary place' (from the movie In The Shadow of the Moon, 2007). Estimate $400-600 The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging.
