DAVID SCOTT SALUTING THE AMERICAN FLAG, JULY 26-AUGUST 7, 1971
Astronaut David R. Scott, commander, gives a military salute while standing beside the deployed U.S. flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The flag was deployed toward the end of EVA-2. The Lunar Module "Falcon" is partially visible on the right. Hadley Delta in the background rises approximately 4,000 meters (about 13,124 feet) above the plain. The base of the mountain is approximately 5 kilometres (about 3 statute miles) away. This photograph was taken by Astronaut James B. Irwin, Lunar Module pilot.

Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Overall very good condition with signs commensurate with age, noting minor indentations and scratches to the recto although they are only seen in raking light. There is also slight staining on the margin and the corners are bumped although this is unlikely to be visible once framed. The verso is in good condition with some slight staining and there is tape attached in two areas, although this is not visible from the recto.
