Apollo 1, 1967, NASA 8x10" Glossy Color Photo (on Kodak paper) A similar, humorous, tension-breaking photo that was made just prior to their official NASA portrait being taken. It was standard photographic procedure to photograph the astronaut crews in comical poses, in part, to lessen the seriousness of the photo shoot and to enable the photographers to get the lighting and staging set up properly. Generally only a few prints of these warm up photos would be made if the astronauts wanted copies. This one has been in the consignor's collection for the past 40 years. It is in excellent condition. Rare.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
Ex. The Ed White Family collection.
