GAGARIN, Iurii Alekseevich (1934-1968). Signed photograph of the cosmonaut with colleagues. Gelatin silver print (113 x 158 mm). Signed by Gagarin and dated 12 April 1961 on the verso. This photograph was presumably taken in the immediate aftermath of Gagarin's successful touch down and is dated the same day. He is sitting slumped in his still half-unzipped spacesuit, the enormity of his accomplishment only beginning to be apprehended.ImagesClick on thumbnails to see larger images:
