In the early 1960s, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was still a new government agency designed to compete with the Soviet Union in the Space Race. NASA soon contracted out to a California company to build and test their rockets. Chuck Pond, an aerial photographer for the company, was granted access to the NASA photographs collected during the Apollo and Gemini missions. The upcoming Artelisted sale of Selected Historical Photographs will offer numerous pictures that Pond developed and printed in the 1960s. Over 35 of his photos will be featured, including shots of the Earth from outer space, various Gemini rocket launches, and the now-iconic image of Buzz Aldrin saluting the American flag on the Moon.

Collectors of historical photos can also trace the history of aviation in this auction. Early 20th-century photographers captured crashed planes and optimistic pilots preparing for takeoff. On the ground, others documented “Miss Sonia” leading a brown bear on a leash and women wearing the latest fashions of 1912. Find the complete catalog and place a bid on the Artelisted website.
