Vostok 1, Gagarin Glass Portrait (framed to 8x11") with Gagarin's name engraved into the wooden frame. This unusual Russian portrait of Gagarin was probably acquired by Slayton during one of his many training missions to Russia prior to the flight of ASTP. While typical tourist fare, it is an accurate, and to Western eyes, unusual, portrait of the first man to fly in space. A great addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
Ex. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.
