The Moonwalker – Buzz Aldrin
On July 16, 1969, Paul Calle was with the Apollo XI astronauts as they had breakfast and prepared for their historic journey to the Moon. Calle was the only artist to document the activities of astronauts, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins as they "Suited Up" for the Apollo XI mission. His on-the-spot pen and ink sketches documented the final hours on Earth of the three men as they journeyed into space destined to make history for all mankind. Many of these original sketches now hang in The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. A very limited number of lithographic reproductions of these sketches Signed by Paul Calle (1928-2010) are available for purchase.
