For a new book I am currently researching, I am trying to find a high-resolution version of a photograph of the six Group 4 scientist-astronauts, including Duane Graveline. It is a photo of the six men in suits standing on the steps of some building, and it is a photo I have seen several times, but I am unable to find it anywhere in a high enough resolution for publication. Ed Hengeveld does not have it in his collection, so if you can assist it would be greatly appreciated. |

It was apparently released as an official NASA glossy print, as there's currently one for sale (signed by Graveline and Kerwin) at AstronautArchives.comOther than that one, I've never seen that picture in a high resolution format. |

Yes, that's the photo. Almost a shame that it's signed, as the resolution is certainly good enough. |

It would take some time to do it right, but given the placement and contrast of the two signatures, you could probably remove the two autographs in Photoshop to the point where no one would notice they were ever there. Finding a clean photo would be better, but it is an option. |
