Premier CollectionEST. 1998 Frank Borman James Lovell Gemini 7 Spacecraft Cape Kennedy 1965 Photo

This is a silver gelatin photograph that is unmounted and is 10 x 8 inches (254x203mm).

It shows a fisheye lens view of the Gemini-7 spacecraft with two astronauts seated inside. Several technicians wearing white coats and caps surround the capsule, preparing to close the open hatches. The distorted perspective captures the interior of the spacecraft and the surrounding facility.

The reverse has a typed caption titled "Gemini-7 crew settle down to endurance test." dated "6th December 1965." The text details the orbital space flight of "Lieutenant Colonel Frank Borman and Commander James Lovell" and mentions preparations for the Gemini-6 launch. The specific photo caption reads, "A fish-eye view as technicians prepare to close the hatches of the Gemini-7 spacecraft at Cape Kennedy, Florida at the week-end." The reference number "H12097" is printed at the bottom.

Each photograph offered has been selected on its own merits from that wider collection. The result is a group of images that are both individually compelling and part of a coherent, carefully built body of work. For collectors, this offers an opportunity to acquire materialselected by adiscerning eye, whether to strengthen an existing collection or to begin a new one.

This collection is being dispersed in stages, with several hundred additional photographs being listed each month.
