“Manned Space Vehicle and tractors on the Moon at Sunrise.
Painting by Chesley Bonestell”
Gorgeous…like everything by Mr. Bonestell’s hand…at least having to do with space.
Also, note when compared to the linked images below, that Mr. Bonestell's signature is located below the astronaut working near the left rear of the tractor. Hmm.
Gorgeous II:

I’m pretty sure the degree of minor yellowing & curl of the photograph support my date range guess. Apparently printed by the American Museum of Natural History, for a fee, by request it seems. So then, reasonable to assume that the original resides/resided with them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The photo paper, although without watermark, has the weight, thickness & feel of high-end (possibly earlier) “THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK” paper.
