Does anyone remember seeing a portrait of the seven Mercury Astronauts in the third floor library of the Air & Space Museum? They had there suits on but there helmets off. Anyone know the name of it?

Name: Cape Canaveral Scenes by Crystal Jackson; this tribute to the Mercury Seven includes portraits originally painted by W. Orr. A picture of this portrait is on p. 42 of "NASA and The Exploration of Space" but it is rather small compare to other paintings in this book.
