The Collier's magazine depiction of the first lunar landing: published 17 years before the actuality.
This painting was the final illustration in Wernher von Braun's article on the journey to the Moon which appeared in Collier's 18 October 1952 issue. It was captioned: "Landing on the moon. Ten minutes before touchdown, rocket motors are switched on to slow down ships' high-speed fall caused by the moon's gravity. Vehicles are maneuvering 550 miles above landing area known as Sinus Roris (Dewy Bay), dark plain above cargo ship in lower left."

Not examined out of frame. Overall good condition with minor surface soiling as to be expected. Some scattered very fine minor surface scratches and a tiny loss at center to the moon's surface.
