''Red Number'' NASA ''Blue Marble'' Photo from the Apollo 17 Mission on ''A Kodak Paper'' -- The First Fully Illuminated Image of the Earth from Space

''Red number'' NASA photo of one of the most iconic images from the space program and even all of history: ''Blue Marble'' that showed, for the first time, Earth fully illuminated from space. Printed on fiber-based paper with ''A Kodak Paper'' watermark on otherwise blank verso. Blue Marple was taken during the Apollo 17 mission, whose unique trajectory allowed the capture of Earth from this angle for the first time. With NASA red number at upper left, ''AS17-148-22727''. Measures 10'' x 8''. Light yellowing to photo, minor streaks to emulsion and light edgewear, overall in very good plus condition.
