Description: Apollo 12 Vintage NASA "Red Number" Color Photo, Image AS12-50-7325: Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan. An original chromogenic 8" x 10" print of a view of the Earth seen from the Apollo 12 spacecraft, primarily of the Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan, on Kodak fiber-based paper bearing the "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the verso. I've identified two issues with this piece: 1) The surface is grittier and not as smooth as most other photos we have - this is because over time, it had stuck to another photo and when they were separated, this photo must have taken some of the back surface of the photo it was stuck to. 2) In the upper-left corner on the front, you can see where the separation took place - some of the paper of the other photo is still stuck to this photo, and in the black, you can see the white film/residue. 3) There is a hand-written "Apollo 12" marking on the back, presumably in pencil - we are not sure if this is our family member's handwriting. We have made no attempts to alter/restore this photo, nor are we in the slightest bit knowledgeable of how to do so. We have two of these - this is only the listing for the second. In the dual picture, it is the photo on the bottom. The photo has been placed in a plastic sleeve with a cardboard backer, then into a 8.5" x "11" rigid print protector for shipping. Due to the age of the photo, there is a slight amount of bowing. Any glare/discoloration is a result of the camera and not an issue with the piece itself, unless otherwise stated. We have a large collection of pictures that will be listed over time; a family member worked as JSC for 33 years and accumulated quite a collection of memorabilia while there. A good number of the pictures, we know what they are based on research, however, a lot of them, we do not and that will be disclosed in the description if need be. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Whereas we are not the experts like he was, we will do our best to answer any questions you have. Shipping is free within the United States and will be sent within two business days. Depending on the final value, a signature may be required. If you are outside of the United States, shipping will be based upon your location. Please see our other auctions for some great items!
