Two NASA-issued Photographs Taken by Cameras Aboard Lunar Orbiter 2 and 5: Medium Resolution Photograph, Frame 213, KI 2057 of the surface of the Moon, 1966-67. NASA-printed caption affixed to the verso. Two gelatin silver prints mounted together on board, image size 13 1/2 x 12 7/8 in., mounted; and High Resolution Photograph of Earth KI-5012, S/C Frame #27, August 1967. NASA-printed caption affixed to the verso. Gelatin silver print, image size 8 1/8 x 13 1/2 in., mounted. Condition: Moon with scattered abrasions, emulsions losses to edges, handling marks, mounting creases, wear to mount edges and corners, minor silver mirroring to edges, adhesive residue on verso; Earth with scattered abrasions, handling marks, mounting creases and irregularities, silver mirroring to edges, wear to mount including u.c., edges, and corners, Velcro affixed to back of mount. N.B. Captions read: Moon, "This oblique view of the moon recorded by Lunar Orbiter II was taken at a position about 52° west longitude. The camera was looking north at the crater Marius, just east of the crater Reiner. Marius is nearly 20 miles in diameter. The orbiter was about 28 miles above the lunar surface when the photograph was taken with the 80mm lens. Lunar Orbiter is managed for NASA by the Langley Research Center. The Boeing Company, Seattle, Washington is the prime contractor. The Photographic Subsystem was designed and fabricated by Eastman Kodak Company." Earth, "This photograph is the second taken by an Orbiter showing the earth as seen from the moon, nearly a quarter of a million miles away. This picture shows a nearly "full earth" with less cloud cover than appeared in the first Orbiter/earth photograph taken nearly one year earlier. The center of the subject is the southern tip of India. The outlines of Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Near East are clearly seen toward the left."
