An original NASA “Red Number” chromogenic photograph of the Moon's surface (Geology Station 9). Comes from the Apollo 17 Mission, December 7-December 19, 1972, so far the last manned lunar mission. NASA identification number (red) AS17–146-22446. Back marked “A Kodak Paper”. Photo size 20×25 cm. Frame size 32×42 cm.
NASA “Red Number” photographs are the photographs, which the space organization itself developed in-house immediately following a successful mission - unlike all other reproductions that were made by external photo labs and printing houses. The number of in-house “Red Number” copies - characteristic with their red serial numbers and named “A Kodak Paper” - was not registered at the time, yet it was very modest and there is generally a long span of time between the turning up of each motif on the market.
Rare. This is an original NASA “Red Number” b/w photograph from 1972, which shows normal signs of handling. Edges have yellowed.
