N.B. "You can see the whole Earth at about ten thousand miles,' said David Scott. 'And you start taking pictures. You take one at ten, and one at fifteen, and one at twenty, etc., etc. And of course, they're all the same; it's just that the Earth takes less of the field of view of the camera as you get further away. But you don't think that. You think, Oh, I wanna take another picture now. I wanna take another picture now. It's spectacular. Oh, it's spectacular' (Chaikin, Voices, p. 29). 'As we got further and further away, the Earth diminished in size,' observed James Irwin. 'Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man' (Kelley, Plate 38).
Estimate $400-600
