Object Details

Description (Brief)

Before computers, artists kept files of images that they used for ideas and visual information. This clipping of the Apollo II insignia, from Frank Gasparro's private collection, may have been his inspiration for the reverse of the Dwight D. Eisenhower and Susan B. Anthony dollars.
