Huge Lithograph Signed by All But One of the Apollo Moonwalkers

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2018

Enormous signed 31'' x 25'' color lithograph of the twelve Apollo astronauts who have walked on the moon, signed by 11 of them. The late Jim Irwin was the first to sign the print in 1986 and 10 other moonwalkers have added their autographs over the years. All six lunar landings are represented by the 11 moonwalkers who have signed this print: Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Jim Irwin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke, John Young, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt. Lithograph was painted by artist Ron Lewis, in an edition of 1,000, signed and numbered 923. Printed on acid-free, heavy stock in pristine, near fine condition. Each portrait was done from the astronaut's NASA white space suit portrait, and beside each bust is a small vignette of the astronaut in action (Conrad with Surveyor, Shepard's chip shot, etc.) Five of the astronauts who signed, including the first man in space, Alan Shepard, have passed away. Due to their deaths, hardly any material exists bearing the autographs of all of these astronauts. Near fine condition.
