Lot 681		Space Art, 1988, "Space for Peacefull Cooperation" (78x38") A rare, three part multicolor poster (each piece is 26x38") with text on the left-hand panel reads: "Space for Peacefull Cooperation - April 12th - The Day of Cosmonautics". The central panel depicts the launching of the Phobos space ship. The text on the right-hand panel reads: "The Soviet Union will launch the Phobos spacecraft in 1988. The aim of the launch is the international study of the planet Mars and its satellite Phobos, the Sun and interplanetary space. Scientists from Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, The German Democratic Republic, Poland, the USSR, France, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the Europen Space Agency are taking part in experiments". The poster was printed by the "Plakat" ("The Poster") Printing House in Moscow. Due to its large size and fungeable nature, few examples of this poster have survived. Good overall condition and beautiful addition to any collection. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 682		Space Art, 1987, Soyuz TM-3 Bilingual Propaganda Poster (42x32") Issued for the "First Soviet-Syrian Space Flight", this multicolor poster is written in both Russian and Arabic. Very few posters were issued originally, fewer survived the ravages of time and it is fairly safe to think that this poster is probably unique in the West. Edge faults and a center "fold" should not detract from this rare piece. Estimated Value $750 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 683		Space Art, c. 1960s, "Yuri Gagarin" Posters (17.5x28" each). Lot of three different blue/white posters that appear to be a series, but not a triptyk. Only 3,000 of each were issued, making them extremely rare by today's standards. One poster is titled: "Yuri Gagarin - Childhood", one "Yuri Gagarin - "Youth" and the third "Yuri Gagarin - The Main Constructor" (with Sergei Korolov). Great pictures on each. These would look beautiful matted and framed. Estimated Value $750 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 684		Space Art, 1980, "First Cuban Cosmonaut" Poster (22x29") This fascinating, multicolor poster pictures Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez, Cuba's first cosmonaut. He flew on Intercosmos flight Soyuz 38. Minor faults, but given the rarity of this poster, they are of minor import. This is probably the first time this poster has been seen in the United States. Estimated Value $500 - 600.

Lot 685		Space Art, 1965, Propaganda Poster (21x28") This typical "heroic" poster was printed by "The Soviet Artist" Printing House in 1965 in a quantity of only 25,000. It was scarce then, it is scarcer now. Excellent condition and a great example of Soviet propaganda. Estimated Value $350 - 500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 686		Space Art, 1960, Russian Movie Poster (21x32") This striking, multicolor poster was issued for the movie: "The Man from the Planet Earth", issued originally in 1958. This was the life story of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (he is pictured on the poster). Although the movie was issued in 1958, the Soviets were not issuing many films back then, preferring to reissue those that were popular. This poster, issued in 1960, was for such a re-issue. Nonetheless, this poster is quite important and is possibly unique in the West today. Minor edge faults should not detract. Estimated Value $350 - 500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 687		Space Art, 1959, Propaganda Poster (25.5x38") This original, multicolor poster is entitled "Glory to Workers of Soviet Science and Technology". It was printed by the Painting House of Soviet Art in Moscow. Extensive edge faults, but, considering the soft, cheap paper used, it is in remarkable condition for its ago. Estimated Value $350 - 500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 688		Space Art, "Typhoon" by Alexei Leonov (38.5x27.5"). This limited edition print (No. 25/1,000) is one of the classics of space art. Depicting a typhoon/tornado/hurricane as seen from space during his Vostok flight, this print is a great addition to any collection. Minor edge bends should not detract. Estimated Value $150 - 250.
