Catalogue Note

LIMITED EDITION LITHOGRAPH SIGNED BY PAUL CALLE AND NEIL ARMSTRONG On July 16, 1969, Paul Calle was with the Apollo 11 astronauts as they had breakfast and readied themselves for their historic expedition to the moon. He was the only artist to document the activities of Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin as they prepared for the launch. Here, Armstrong is depicted in his "Snoopy cap" as he suited up for the mission.
