LEM ascent stage liftoff/ascent_oblique (gouache? matted/mounted painting, ca. 1962/63)
Handsome artwork/painting (gouache I believe) depicting an early configuration LEM liftoff & ascent from the moon. Circa 1962/63, by artist/illustrator Don Crowley, most likely produced during his freelancing period.
Fascinating information on Mr. Crowley, who unfortunately, passed on earlier this year:

Note the exceedingly long...EVA antenna? Possibly jettisoned, folded, or somehow retracted prior to docking? I guess it wasn't an issue if the forward hatch/docking port was used.
