Lotto No. 124


Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11)


Close-up of Buzz Aldrin at the first research site on the Moon, 16-24 July 1969

Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS11-40-5951" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm, laminated (probably original condition)

Aldrin makes final adjustments on the seismometer. The reflection of Armstrong while taking the photograph can be seen in Aldrin’s gold-plated visor.

“You can see pictures, and you can appreciate from pictures. But pictures are different from being there.”
Neil Armstrong (Chaikin, Voices, pg.66)

From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
111:06:34 Aldrin: Houston, as I was facing the PSE (Passive Seismic Experiment), the right-hand solar array deployed automatically. The left-hand I had to manually (garbled) restraining bar at the far end. And all parts of the solar array are clear of the ground now.
111:07:02 McCandless: Buzz, this is Houston. I understand that you did successfully deploy both solar arrays. Over.
111:07:10 Aldrin: Roger. That’s affirmative. (Pause) And there isn’t any way of telling whether that’s lined up, without getting in the way; maybe I can get down here.
111:07:40 Aldrin: Well, that appears to be pointing.

LIFE, 11 August 1969; LIFE, 8 August 1969, pg. 24; Apollo: Through the Eyes of the Astronauts, Jacobs, pg. 59.
