Description
Transmitted by the RCA Camera Mounted to the Lunar Rover
TV picture of the "jumping salute" on the Moon, Apollo 16, April 1972. Stamped "RCA Astro-Electronics Div. 72-8-512C" on the verso. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 5/8 x 9 1/2 in. (19.2 x 24.0 cm), unmatted.
Condition: Handling creases l.r., scattered faint surface scratches.
N.B. In a burst of exuberance, Young goes aloft for Duke's camera to demonstrate the Moon's meager gravity pull (Mason, p. 190). "Hey, John, this is perfect with the LM, the rover, and you and Stone Mountain and the old flag. Come on out there and give me a salute, a big Navy salute. Ok, here we go, a big one. Off the ground! One more," exclaimed Charles Duke in an Apollo 16 air-to-ground transmission.
Estimate $500-700
