Taken by a 16mm Maurer Camera Mounted on the Hatch of the Command Module
The first deep space Extravehicular Activity in history, performed by Alfred Worden, Apollo 15, August 1971. Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 6 3/4 x 9 1/4 in. (17.0 x 23.4 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Possible yellowing to sheet.

N.B. This picture was taken from a frame of motion picture film. Worden's EVA has been described as the first interplanetary spacewalk in an age that placed much prestige on space "firsts." Apart from the three Apollo EVAs to retrieve SIM bay film cassettes, every other EVA from a spacecraft in freefall has taken place in low Earth orbit, never more than about 600 kilometers away from the home planet (Apollo 15 flight journal: https://history.nasa.gov/afj/ap15fj/23day11_worden_eva.html).
Estimate $400-600
