Apollo 12 Crew Signed FDC Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon & Alan Bean signed Apollo 12 FDC. Apollo 12 was the sixth manned flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon (an H type mission). It was launched on November 14, 1969 from the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, and four months after Apollo 11. Mission commander Charles Pete Conrad and Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the south eastern portion of the Ocean of Storms. Unlike the first landing on Apollo 11, Conrad and Bean achieved a precise landing at their expected location, the site of the Surveyor 3 unmanned probe, which had landed on April 20, 1967. They carried the first colour television camera to the lunar surface on an Apollo flight, but transmission was lost after Bean accidentally destroyed the camera by pointing it at the Sun. On one of two moonwalks, they visited the Surveyor and removed some parts for return to Earth. The mission ended on November 24 with a successful splashdown. Good condition. Item comes with lifetime guarantee of authenticity and COA from an AFTAL registered dealer.

Sir Henry Cooper signed 16 x 12 black and white boxing photo, amusing image with Kevin Keegan. English heavyweight boxer known for the sheer power of his left hook, Enry's 'Ammer, and his knockdown of the young Muhammad Ali. Cooper held the British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight titles several times throughout his career, and unsuccessfully challenged Ali for the world heavyweight championship in 1966. Following his retirement from the sport, Cooper continued his career as a television and radio personality and was enormously popular in Britain: he was the first (and is today one of just three people) to twice win the public vote for BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and is thus far the only boxer to be awarded a knighthood.

Keulen, Johannes van (c.1654-1715)Bookseller and publisher of Amsterdam, was founder of a family firm which lasted until 1885. His son Gerard van Keulen, grandson Johannes II and great-grandson Gerard Hulst van Keulen improved and updated later charts. His first publication was De Groote Nieuwe Vermeerderde Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Werelt of 1680, in many languages and running to many editions. His other publication was De Nieuwe Groote Lichtende Zee-Fakkel, of 1681, which is essentially a pilot-guide with more text.A Chart of Ireland and the Irish Sea (1680)“Pascaart vande Canaal Engeland, Schotland en Yrland, Synde vande miswysingh en veel fouten verbetert door veel Ervaerne Stierlieden.

The Right Honourable Denis Brown M.P. and Member of the Dublin Society, and Royal Irish Academy, foreman; Commenced in 1809, and terminated in 1817, by William Bald F.R.S.E. Member of the Royal Geographical Society Paris, Member of the Geological Society London, Member of the Royal Irish Academy, Honorary Member of the Wernerian Natural History Society Edinburgh. Engraved by Pierre Tardieu, 1830. overall dimensions when joined. 3.11m x 2.57m average sheet size 620 x 510By William Bald, a massively detailed map of Mayo in 25 sections, each varying slightly in size; a little detail here and there of adjacent counties. Large title cartouche. Extensive table of mountain heights. Lake levels; bog levels and depths. Coastal soundings. Plan of trigonometrical base lines. Scale 1 inches to 1 mile. Published by the Mayo Grand Jury. Some edges frayed and some light foxing otherwise in very good condition. William Bald was born in Burntisland in 1789. He was employed as an apprentice under the celebrated Scottish surveyor, engraver and mapmaker, John Ainslie. Bald made a survey of Harris in 1805 when he was only 16, and was later responsible for surveys of ~Benbecula, south Ulst, Eriskey and Argyll, possibly because the tugged nature of the terrain would have been difficult for Ainslie, then in his 60s. These and other of his surveys were later incorporated into Aaron Arrowsmith's map of Scotland. By the time Bald arrived in Mayo in 1809 as county surveyor, he had been described by his teacher and mentor John Ainslie as a very big man... In the words of John Andrews, no ordinary tribute for a twenty-year-old. Bald's first commitment in Mayo was a Grand Jury map of the county. At the same time, he managed to work for the Bogs Commission on their brief for a survey of the bogs of Ireland. Both surveys were to degree of sophistication and meticulousness which far outstripped anything known in Ireland up to that time. His map of Mayo was unique in its scale and scholarship. The base measurement and triangulation were impeccable. Bald spent 18 years on the Mayo survey and engaged Pierre Tardieu in Paris, the foremost engraver of his day, to bring the map to fruition. This was done very slowly and at great expense, finally reaching the light of day in 1830. Bald was a familiar figure in Castlebar, much admired by some, yet disliked by others who through envy of his great expertise, carped at his efforts; or who, unused to the sheer cost of mapping on such a scale, complained at his lavish use of public money. Bald went on to plan surveys of Clare and Down. He even envisaged a general triangulation of Ireland and a new geological map. He still found time to attend to roads and bridges in his adopted county. The coming of the Ordnance Survey spelled the end of the era of the great land surveyors, Bald among them. In later life, he concentrated on roads, bridges, canals and harbours, and eventually railways. He was a principal adviser in the early deliberations of the Ordnance Survey. William Bald loved Mayo, as can be seen from his Map. The profusion of place names, particularly coastal place names, attests to his love of the Mayo landscape, so like his native Scotland. He was one of the ablest, most hard-working and most creative map-makers ever to practise in Ireland. He died in 1857; he is buried in Highgate Cemetery, London. His wife, Anne, pre-deceased him; she is buried in Straide, Co. Mayo.
