R.L. Rasmussen produced these fine art prints in 2002 called, "Space...The Pioneers". It is a beautiful artist's depiction of a Mercury Atlas launch. The print is hand signed in pencil on the bottom border by John Glenn, Wally Schirra, Gordon Cooper and Scott Carpenter who were the only four Mercury astronauts who flew the Atlas.

The image is a reproduction of Rasmussen's original watercolor. It is on printed on museum quality paper and measures 21" W x 29 1/4" H." This print has never been displayed and still remains in it's cardboard tube. It is in "as new" condition.

The numbered edition was limited to only 300 pieces. This is an "Artist's Presentation" print for which there are considerably less and as such this one was gifted to Gordon Cooper by Rasmussen in 2002 for his participation in it's signing. It comes with a COA from Farthest Reaches attesting that it comes from the Cooper Family Collection. The price is $395 plus shipping of $15 within the USA.

Thanks to all for your continued support.
