Colour offset lithograph poster to celebrate the 1969 moon landings depicting the astronaut Neil Armstrong on the moon, lettered with his famous quote: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". The poster is a misquote in its addition of an extra 'a' before man. Below the photographic image is a short career history of the three astronauts on the mission- Armstrong, Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr (Buzz Aldrin), and Michael Collins.
