Thomas Stafford (American, b. 1930), Eugene Cernan (American, 1934-2017), or John Young (American, b. 1930)
Four abstract lunar landscapes near Central Bay at the terminator, Apollo 10, May 1969. Two numbered 'NASA AS10-31-4650' and 'NASA AS10-32-4855' (NASA MSC), respectively, in black on the recto in the margins; one numbered 'NASA AS10-27-3906' in red on the recto upper margin. Two vintage gelatin silver prints and two vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image sizes to 7 1/4 x 7 3/4 in. (18.3 x 19.5 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Good.

N.B. The lunar terminator is the boundary between day and night on the Moon. Topographic features on the surface of the lunar mare Central Bay are accentuated by the low sun angle; undulations occurring in an apparently smooth mare area are emphasized and numerous small craters give the landscape a speckled appearance (NASA SP-246). The third image showing Hyginus Rille was photographed with the 250mm telephoto lens. The NASA negative number of the second color image is AS10-27-3905.
Estimate $500-700
