Offered for auction in this lot is a massive collection of nearly 10,000 original photographs & laser prints spanning virtually the entire history of mankind's quest to go where no man had previously gone before, outer space. From the earliest rockets and satellites launched into orbit to the manned crafts that would follow and eventually touch down on the moon and other celestial bodies this comprehensive lot truly spans the spectrum of the space race. Majority of photos measure between 6" x 8" and 8" x 10" with some smaller sizes also included.
