19693792<p>A very uncommon map of the Sea of Tranquility area that would be the site of the first moon landing in 1969. According to a description of a related larger-scale map in a 2020 Bonham's auction "NASA mission planners created this internal Manned Spacecraft Center chart a few months before the flight in 1969."</p><p>The map encompasses the area from 14 degrees South to 14 degrees North Latitude and from 0 degrees to 42 degrees East Longitude. The coordinates of the Eagle's landing site were 0.675 degrees Latitude North and 23.47 degrees Longitude East – very near the center of the mapped area.</p><p>The map is numbered "MSC – 6238 – 69" in the lower right margin. As it was meant for internal use only the map appears to be significantly less common than the LAC Lunar Chart series and the USGS geologic chart series. We were unable to locate an online reference to the map on the Lunar and Planetary Institute website.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Rolled never folded. Some crinkling in the lower margin. Tear at extreme lower right corner with map number has been closed with archival tape on the reverse. Good.</p><p>ICN 7706.1.</p> NASA Manned Spacecraft Center

1987ST20505-11Madison Wisconsin: The Juniper Press 1987. No. 116 OF 150 COPIES. 632 x 250 mm. 25 x 9 3/4". 2p.l. 19 1 pp. <br/> Black quarter buckram over maroon marbled paper boards spine lettered in gilt. In a custom maroon buckram clamshell box. WITH 24 FACSIMILE GLOBE GORES. Signed by Woodward on the limitation page. Just a hint of use to the box booklet corners just a touch rubbed otherwise as new.<br/> <br/> This sizable attractive publication reproduces one of the largest complete sets of 16th century globe gores. Dating from around 1574 the original gores which when assembled would make a globe measuring just under 70 centimeters in diameter have been attributed to brothers Livio and Giulio Sanuto Venetian cartographers and engravers. Little is known about the gores' origin; the accompanying essay suggests they may have never made it to the final stages of publication and production possibly stopped by an outbreak of plague. This facsimile was created from the only extant set in the collection of Arthur Holzheimer 1932-2025 and was produced by his research foundation along with the Newberry Library. The gores are accompanied by a booklet by noted cartography scholar David Woodward 1942-2004 which provides background and the evidence supporting the attribution of the gores to the Sanuto brothers.
