Souvenir map of the moon published for the Lipton Company, with visualisations of each step of the journey and a trajectory diagram simplified for NASA's official "Lunar Landing Mission Profile".
Zaffo has paid great attention to detail when illustrating the Earth and it is said he was inspired by the "Earthrise" taken during the first manned space flight mission, Apollo 8 (1968).
Printed colour.
