Large-format vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper, 36.8 x 28.2, image 34.3 x 27cm, “A Kodak Paper” watermark and US army caption numbered AS11-40-5872 on verso “My first words of my impression of being on the surface of the Moon that just came to my mind were "Magnificent desolation." The magnificence of human beings, humanity, Planet Earth, maturing the technologies, imagination and courage to expand our capabilities beyond the next ocean, to dream about being on the Moon, and then taking advantage of increases in technology and carrying out that dream - achieving that is magnificent testimony to humanity. But it is also desolate - there is no place on Earth as desolate as what I was viewing in those first moments on the Lunar Surface.” Buzz Aldrin Illustrated: Moon p.196-197
