APOLLO XI: A good, large signed and inscribed colour 20 x 16 photograph by all three crew members of Apollo XI (1969) individually, comprising Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) American astronaut, Commander of Apollo XI, the first man to walk on the moon, Buzz Aldrin (1930-     ) American astronaut, Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo XI, the second man to walk on the moon, and Michael Collins (1930-2021) American astronaut, Command Module Pilot of Apollo XI, the image (14 x 11) depicting the three astronauts standing and seated together in three-quarter length poses, each wearing their white NASA spacesuits, and with a large image of the moon in the immediate background. Signed and inscribed by Armstrong, 'Best wishes to James E. Rogan - Neil Armstrong', in black ink, signed ('M Collins') by Collins with his name alone (the signature slightly faded although perfectly legible) and signed ('Buzz Aldrin') by Aldrin in black ink with his name alone, all three signatures to the lower mount beneath their images. Some extremely light, uniform age toning to the mount, evidently caused by previous framing, and with a few light, minor creases to the edges of the mount. About VG
