^Lot 72 Valentina Tereshkova and Alexei Leonov

Color limited edition 32 x 17.75 poster entitled ‘Seagull,’ by Leonov, numbered AP #19/95, signed in the bottom border in pencil by both, with someone adding a small color sketch of the Russian flag with three seagulls flying above the symbol. This particular image not only commemorates Tereshkova’s flight, but the 11 seagulls represent the number of American women that had been in space at the time the original was painted. ‘Seagull’ was Tereshkova’s chosen call sign during her mission. Rolled and in fine condition. Accompanied by a Documentation Certificate from Star Press Publications.
