VINTAGE 1958 HAMMOND GUIDE TO EXPLORATION OF SPACE Poster NASA Space Race For Sale

Description: An exceptional, museum-quality survivor from the dawn of the Space Age. This is the original 1958 C.S. Hammond & Co. 'Guide to the Exploration of Space'—a definitive piece of Cold War-era scientific illustration. Published the same year NASA was established, this poster captures the world's 'then-future' vision of lunar travel, orbital trajectories, and cosmic exploration before the first man even entered orbit. This is the authentic two-sided fold-out version, featuring dense technical illustrations and infographics on the reverse.

> Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Unlike modern reprints, this original 1958 sheet possesses the authentic mid-century paper weight and vibrant lithography of the period. Minor wear consistent with age, primarily at the original fold lines, which only confirms its 60+ year provenance.
