Item # 725730
August 03, 1969
SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT section only of The New York Times, August 3, 1969 

* Very first color photos on the Moon published 

This highly sought after piece of history that shows the very first color photos from Tranquility Base with a front page heading: "THE MOON: A New Frontier". This 20 pages supplement has several related photos with loads of text on the historic Moon landing. (see images) 
Complete with 20 pages, a little light toning on the front page, nice condition.

background: The August 3, 1969, supplement is highly sought after by collectors, particularly those who specialize in "visual history" rather than just headline news. While the July 21 "Men Walk on Moon" edition remains the primary target for generalists, this specific 20-page pull-out is prized for being the first mass-media document to present the moon in high-fidelity color, making it a favorite for framing and display. Its value in the collector's market is dictated strictly by condition; because it was printed on highly acidic newsprint that tends to yellow and crumble over time, a "bright white" copy without the standard horizontal mailing fold is a rare find that commands a premium.
