Fantastic Mercury 7 signed photo display, with the signatures of all 7 astronauts on the photographic mat. The photo is a very unusual pose, with the astronauts casually yet confidently posed next to a rocket model. Photo is copyrighted by the National Geographic Society, and the presentation is inscribed to Allan Fisher, a reporter for ''National Geographic'', who wrote a profile of the group in its July 1960 issue. A reprint of the issue accompanies the lot. Photo measures 18'' x 8.25'', and mat measures 22'' x 13''. Very good to near fine, with only a few spots of abrasion on the mat. With Steve Zarelli COA for all seven signatures; Mr. Zarelli stated that he has never seen this pose before.
