Photographs HE SP504 through HE SP510 are released
by NASA, and have original
NASA stamps on the back plus the quotes shown beneath the photos above.
The others are regular press photos and are not specifically marked.
All photos are originals and most are still marked with the original
crop-marks for publication
and/or the issue information from the studio. They are all 8 x 10s
and the images
shown are scans of the photographs available. They are in
excellent repair, but come
from the working files of the magazines they were published in,
hence
show some marks and wear.
Please contact the dealer for more information.
