Lot Essay

The full Hasselblad frame of the most famous image of a man on the Moon.

“As I walked away from the Eagle Lunar Module. Neil said, ‘Hold it, Buzz.’ So I stopped and turned around, and then he took what has become known as the ‘Visor’ photo. I like this photo because it captures the moment of a solitary figure against the horizon of the Moon, along with a reflection in my helmet’s visor of our home away from home, the Eagle, and of Neil snapping the photo.”
Buzz Aldrin (Jacobs, p. 63)
