Apollo 11 Vintage NASA "Red Number" Color Photo, Image AS11-36-5299: Earth limb with view of Tropical Storm Bernice in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California.
A vintage chromogenic 10" x 8" print of Earth limb with view of Tropical Storm Bernice in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, on Kodak fiber-based paper bearing the "Paper Manufactured by Kodak" watermark on the verso.
“This paper manufactured by Kodak” watermark faint. It is repeated diagonally across the paper.
Numbered NASA Photo AS11-36-5299 from late Dick Underwood collection.
The photo has overall even toning on verso and the fades to red, which is very common with the photos from this period, a factor due in great part to the humidity and heat in Houston.
Richard “Dick” Underwood (1927-2011) was chief engineer on the production of the first topographic maps of the moon. He was the first person to view every photograph from the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and the first 23 space shuttle missions.
He also provided technical training to every astronaut who went in to space in the 20th century.
