About the Item

Presented is a much sought-after, limited edition lithograph entitled Moonwalkers by Ron Lewis. This piece of space history contains the original signatures of eleven of the twelve American astronauts who stepped onto the Moon's surface. Signed in felt tip blue ink by their portraits are the original autographs of Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Charles Conrad, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Jim Irwin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke, John Young, Gene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt. Issued in an edition of only 1000 prints, this lithograph is numbered 433/1000. Lewis's artwork is derived from each astronaut's white space suit NASA portrait and includes a small vignette of the astronaut performing a task on the moon, all against a lunar surface background. The Apollo astronauts fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's promise to the world that we would put a man on the Moon before the decade's end. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 fulfilled that promise. NASA sent six more manned missions to the Moon to explore, learn, and study Earth’s natural satellite. This lithograph was printed in 1986 and then sent to the astronauts for their autographs. The late Jim Irwin was the first to sign and 10 other moonwalkers have added their autographs over the years. Neil Armstrong is the only moonwalker that did not sign this, but all 6 lunar landings are represented. The color lithograph is printed on heavyweight, acid-free paper. Each is numbered and signed in the lower right corner by the artist. This is a desirable, very difficult-to-obtain collection of signatures, presented on a single oversized print. Condition: Very good condition. Color lithograph, printed on heavyweight, acid-free paper. Numbered 433/1000 and signed by the artist in the lower right. Eleven original moonwalker signatures, each in felt-tipped blue ink. Signatures are legible and without smears or fading. Lithograph measures 25" H x 31"W. Lithograph has been archivally framed with acid-free matting, a custom-built black wooden frame, and UV Plexiglas. Framed Dimensions: 33 3/4" H x 39 1/4" W x 3/4" D.

"The Right Stuff" Vintage Movie Poster, Signed by Chuck Yeager, 1983
By Tom Jung
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is an original movie poster for Warner Brothers 1983 film, “The Right Stuff.” Tom Jung designed this one-sheet poster, which features profile illustrations of the seven test pilots, set against a starry sky, and a singular pilot emerging from a wrecked test. The movie’s title, “The Right Stuff,” and catch-phrase, “How the future began,” are printed at bottom center. A collectible piece of movie history, this poster is made even more desirable with the addition of test-pilot Chuck Yeager’s signature on the poster at middle left. In 1972, journalist Tom Wolfe covered the launch of the final Moon mission, Apollo 17, for Rolling Stone. He wrote a four-part article about the astronauts for the magazine, entitled “Post-Orbital Remorse,” which appeared in Rolling Stone throughout 1973. After his piece was completed, Wolfe was still curious about the emotional and psychological bravery required to rocket into space, and so he began researching a broader history of the United States’ human spaceflight program. Throughout much of the 1970s, Wolfe worked on the research and writing for his book, The Right Stuff. In his foreword, Wolfe notes that as late as 1970, almost one in four career Navy pilots died in accidents. "The Right Stuff," he explains, "became a story of why men were willing--willing?--delighted!--to take on such odds in this, an era literary people had long since characterized as the age of the anti-hero." Focusing on the earliest American human spaceflights of Project Mercury and writing 15 years after the events themselves, Wolfe had the benefit of hindsight, archives, and first-hand recollections to help him answer that question. Wolfe interviewed test pilots, the astronauts, and their wives, among other experts in the field of space, flight, and psychology. The book was well received by critics upon publication in 1979. It was hailed as “one of the most romantic and thrilling books ever written about men who put themselves in peril." (The Boston Globe). It was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. This success prompted the development and creation of the Warner Brothers film, of the same title. Written and directed by Philip Kaufman, the 1983 film chronicles the first 15 years of America’s space program. Similar to Wolfe’s book, the movie follows the Mercury Seven test pilots closely, humanizing the professional and personal trials, tribulations, stressors, and pressure each faced. The film starred Sam Shepard, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Fred Ward, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey and Kim Stanley. It was narrated by Levon Helm...

"In Through The Back Door" by William S. Phillips, WWII Themed Lithograph, 1981
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented, is an exciting 1981 color lithograph by William “Billy” Phillips. Titled Through the Back Door, the lithograph depicts an American P-47 Thunderbolt pursuing a Luftwaffe bomber on the famous D-Day of WWII. Also referred to as a “Jug,” the P-47 was the largest and heaviest fighter aircraft powered by only one reciprocating engine. It was armed with four machine guns on each wing making it lethal for ground attacks. The busy scene focuses on the diving P-47 with “Miss Behave” painted on the side, but is full of action throughout the work. Providing a sense of movement, the background is blurred with multiple airplanes both in flight and on the ground. Fire and smoke billow from the field putting the viewer in the middle of the dramatic scene. The artist, William “Billy” Phillips is a renowned aviation and landscape artist. He is well-recognized and has received many awards for his artwork. Early in his career, Phillips was commissioned by the Royal Jordinian Air Force as an artist and later served as the U.S. Combat Artist. The U.S. awarded Phillips the Navy’s Meritorious Public Service Award and the Air Force Sergeants Association’s Americanism Medal. The celebrated artist additionally won the Art History Award twice and is one of the few individuals to be exhibited in a solo show at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
