A significant find… 280 Mercury 35mm Images on Contact sheets., 14 photographic pages (8x10) with true size 35mm contact images. The images are clearly from Mercury and cover at least one recovery, post recovery, medical evaluation, welcome home ceremony and more. These were recovered when discarded and many are believed to have never been published. For anyone not familiar with contact images -- they are made by laying the negatives on a page of photographic paper and exposing them in a darkroom then developing the print. Each 8x10 page contains from 10 to 35 images. A unique find and a way to own a view into the Mercury program that no one else has.
Estimated Value $500 - 750

 
Realized $197
