Space Exploration Photography and Ephemera

This is a live online auction with auctioneer. Dreweatts are delighted to hold a specialist sale of mesmerising space photography, related ephemera and autographs. Over 1200 photographs, grouped into over 400 lots, sequentially unravel the story of human endeavours to discover what lies beyond our home planet, from early rocketry engineering by the forefathers of space exploration to complex interplanetary missions. Amongst many 'first' images from space, the sale also features intimate photographs from training activities, pre-launch preparations and dramatic recoveries. There is also a large group of photographs unreleased at the time by NASA and, thus, scarcely seen.Although today space photography and video footage appear to be a part of our daily news feeds, it was only few decades ago that we had the chance to see what our planet looks like from space for the very first time. In those days space photography was a source of awe, wonder and amazement and had the power to change the way we see Earth and our place in space. The photography not only documented one of mankind?s greatest achievements, but through its aesthetic values, also had the power to show the sublime beauty of the universe and our own planet.
