David Scott (American, b. 1932) James Irwin and the Rover at the Hadley-Apennine landing site, EVA 1, Apollo 15, August 1971. Numbered 'NASA AS15-86-11601' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto u.l. margin. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 1/4 x 7 in. (18.3 x 17.5 cm), unmatted. Condition: Minor handling crimp l.l., subtle accretion or similar u.r. N.B. "We were a base... I mean, if we'd had more oxygen and more food and more water in the LM, we could've stayed there. Nothing wore out... The rover's still good. You could go out there and start it up right now. So, we had a lunar base established," noted David Scott (Chaikin, Voices, p. 192). The NASA negative number on the recto is an error, the correct number is AS15-86-11602. Literature: Hope, p. 28; Reynolds, p. 177.
