Lot Essay

The iconic photograph of Irwin, the flag, the LM and the Lunar Rover framed by the majestic Mount Hadley Delta.

“I felt like I was an alien as I traveled through space. When I got on the Moon, I felt at home. We had mountains on three sides and had the deep canyon to the west, a beautiful spot to camp. I felt in a way Adam and Eve must have felt, as they were standing on the Earth and they realized that they were all alone. I talk about the Moon as a very holy place.”
James Irwin (Kelley, plate 46)
