William Anders (American, b. 1933), Frank Borman (American, b. 1928), or James Lovell (American, b. 1928) Four views showing details of the lunar surface seen from the spacecraft, Apollo 8, December 1968. Vintage chromogenic prints on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image sizes to 7 5/8 x 9 1/2 in. (19.2 x 24.0 cm), unmatted. Condition: Good. N.B. Borman, Lovell, and Anders looked back at this ancient and alien landscape, so pockmarked with meteorite craters that it could have been a battlefield. "No matter how closely you looked, it was crater upon crater. You get the monocular out, and you'd see just even more craters. So you just imagined they were right down to microscopic little craters. What you had down there was a big heap of crater upon crater' explained William Anders (Chaikin, Voices, p. 39). The NASA negative numbers are AS8-14-2402, AS8-14-2421, AS8-14-2431, and AS8-14-2432.
