“The soft landing…mid-way point in man’s greatest adventure! Silent, forbidding…the face of the moon, scarred by the fists of the Universe, but lovely in its promise to reveal the secrets of Creation, if only man is bold enough to court and conquer it.”

8.5" x 11", fine pebble-grain finish.

 

Beautiful artist’s concept, courtesy the talented Robert Watts, as part of an Apollo 10 'Souvenir Portfolio' on the Lunar Module's Ryan Aeronautical-manufactured landing radar.

 

It pretty much looks like the LM model kit of the time!
