Description
Yuri Gagarin Gherman Titov
Russia, ca. 1960
First Dogs in Space Pioneering Cosmonauts Signed Photo
Signed photograph
A fine souvenir photograph signed by pioneering cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov, a black and white 6.75? x 4.25? composite image celebrating the survival during orbital flight of the first two living animals, the dogs Belka and Streika. The photo shows the two dogs, with text indicating the dates and details of the voyage. Signed boldly at upper-right by both cosmonauts. Very slight wrinkling, otherwise in very good condition.
Belka and Streika spent a day in space on August 19, 1960, before being safely returned to earth ? accompanied by a veritable menagerie of other animals, all of which survived. Interestingly, Nikita Khrushchev would later present one of Streika?s puppies to Caroline Kennedy!
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
