Mercury 7 signed photo, in a pose rarely seen with the seven astronauts standing in front of the Mercury 7 capsule. All seven astronauts sign this large 11'' x 14'' photo, with the inscription reading, ''To Betty Frick with all best wishes / From the Mercury Astronauts -'', signed ''Walter M Schirra Jr'', ''Leroy G Cooper, Jr'', ''John H. Glenn, Jr.'', ''M. Scott Carpenter'', ''Donald K. Slayton'', ''Virgil I. Grissom'' and ''Alan B. Shepard''. Slayton writes his name again under his image, but the pen didn't adhere well enough, likely causing him to then sign upon his image. Glossy photo measures 11'' x 14'', with ''Life'' magazine stamp on verso, crediting photographer Ralph Morse. Heavy creasing, mostly confined to perimeter, smudging to Cooper's signature, and a few one-inch closed tears to margin. Overall good condition with strong visual appeal.
