DescriptionA partial, three quarter, black and white image of the Earth surrounded by a solid black background. The text in black ink is located along the lower quarter of the image and is juxtaposed against a gray and white marbled back ground.eMuseum Notes
Text reads as: "...To see the Earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the Earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold - brothers who know now they are truly brothers."
