PAUL CALLE — NEIL ARMSTRONG
ARTIST'S PROOF OF CALLE'S "FIRST MAN ON THE MOON"
Lithographic print, 8¼ x 12¾ inches, "A/P First Man on the Moon" in pencil to lower right.
SIGNED by NEIL ARMSTRONG and PAUL CALLE.
A lithograph of the famous Calle artwork of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon, used on the 1969 10¢ stamp.
In 1962, Calle was among the first artists selected to participate in the NASA Art Program. While his involvement with NASA began with the Gemini missions, his best-known work remains the present image, which served as the design for the iconic "First Man on the Moon" U.S. postage stamp.
