a_v_bw_o_n (original 1964 World Book Encyclopedia photo, Chesley Bonestell)
Original 1964 depiction of humankind’s presence on the lunar surface, by visionary artist Chesley Bonestell.
The appearance of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) - without digging through other corroborative images - seems to be support the stamped/supposed original year.
7.5” x 10”. The photograph has a wonderful barely perceptible satin sheen to it.
Check out all of the spectacular works. Oddly enough though, neither the image, nor any reference to it was to be found at what I assume to be his official site:
Finally, although the color version looks great, to me it looks like the sole version that’s been propagated by all.
