Vostok 1, 1961, Gagarin Autograph. On the front page of the April 14, 1961 edition of "Vechernyaya Moskva" (The Evening Moscow) newspaper. This four page paper is devoted to Gagarin's triumphant return to Moscow after his flight, how he was met by the Moscow citizens and how the world reacted to his flight. The photo shows him being greated by Premier Khruschev (Gagarin has signed at the top right of the photo). Clean, attractive and the first time we have seen this paper. A nice piece of history.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
