Lot 22: Apollo 17 40th Anniversary Commemorative Frame Signed by Cernan
From the personal collection of Apollo 17 Commander Gene Cernan, this historic, limited edition artist's proof of "Celebrating Apollo 17 and the Golden Age of Space" boasts the low certificate number of 062/200 and is an Official NASA Commemorative. The edition-exclusive lithograph included in the frame has been signed by Cernan.
In addition to the autographed litho, which beautifully marries photos of the Apollo 17 launch, its crew, Cernan in his space suit, the lunar surface, and an American flag into a single, powerful image, the 24x20" frame also features a limited edition First Footprints emblem and Apollo 17 Medallion, both minted with metal from Apollo command modules that flew to the moon.
The frame illustrates the "Golden Age of Space" via a photographic timeline representing all the missions of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Beautifully crafted mission emblems representing Mercury 3, Mercury 6, Gemini 4, Gemini 9, Apollo 8, Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 accompany the timeline, highlighting these seven historical endeavors. A NASA emblem and miniature reproduction of the Apollo 17 Lunar Plaque are included in the piece as well.
According to the Certificate of Authenticity issued by Winco International, the company that produced this edition, Cernan "wanted the presentation to honor Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, and the people who made each mission and lunar footprint possible." The winner of this lot is sure to agree that in terms of Cernan's vision: Mission Accomplished!
