EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in human history: the three Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin, in the midst of their groundbreaking mission to the moon. This rare image is from the personal collection of Joan Aldrin, wife of Buzz Aldrin, and is dated July 20, 1969, the day mankind first set foot on the lunar surface. The photograph is an original print, and on the reverse side, a handwritten note reads, "Directly from the collection of Joan Aldrin," adding to its unique value and authenticity. The envelope bearing the photograph is postmarked from Washington, D.C., on September 10, 1969. A closer look reveals an intriguing detail: the postage stamps affixed to the envelope. Ten US cent stamps adorn the envelope, each featuring an artistic representation of the Apollo 11 mission's lunar module, "Eagle," and the words "First Day Cover - US Postal Service." The stamps were issued to commemorate the historic event. The astronauts in the photograph are seen in their iconic spacesuits, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin standing together, while Michael Collins, the command module pilot, is seated, preparing for their return journey to Earth. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage, determination, and ingenuity that propelled these men to achieve the seemingly impossible. This photograph is not only a piece of space memorabilia but also a testament to the spirit of exploration and human achievement. Its inclusion in the Joan Aldrin collection adds a personal touch, making it a unique and valuable addition to any space or history enthusiast's collection.
