The photographs were acquired from NASA by the consignor in 1971 while working as a journalist and television writer in Los Angeles. At the time, American author Tom Wolfe was working on his book, The Right Stuff, and the consignor was researching an article on the Apollo 10 and 11 astronauts. The two became acquaintances and the magazine was given to the consignor by Wolfe.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
