The Red Planet

Large format vintage chromogenic print on resin coated Kodak paper, 'Kodak Professional Paper' watermarks on the verso and ink annotation 'P 40220'. A remarkably vivid image of Mars in a rare large format print. This striking image from the Hubble Space Telescope depicts Mars in vivid detail. The white polar ice cap is visible at the bottom of the image, while the right is dominated by the ink-dark mass of the Syrtis Major region, where dark basaltic lava flows make the planet appear black. Crater marks cover the surface, rewarding detailed looking at the complex texture of our neighbor.

Estimate:£3,020.8
