Description:

Alfred Worden (American, b. 1932)
Orbital panorama over the Moon at lunar sunrise, near Mons La Hire, Apollo 15, August 1971. Numbered 'NASA AS15-96-13026' and 'NASA AS15-96-13029' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto upper margins. Mosaic of four vintage chromogenic prints on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, overall size 14 1/2 x 26 1/2 in. (36.8 x 64.50 cm),unmatted.
Condition: Good.

N.B. While Irwin and Scott explored the lunar surface, Alfred Worden took this telephoto panorama with the 250mm lens during the 36th revolution of his spacecraft, the CSM Endeavor. It shows a long shadow behind the mountains of the 1,500-meter-high Mons La Hire (right of image) and its surrounding landscape dramatized by the low morning Sun on the Moon. The additional NASA negative numbers are AS15-96-13027 and AS15-96-13028.
Estimate $1,500-2,500
