Cardboard box with over 90 slides (around 50 color slides, dimensions approx. 8 x 8 cm) from East Africa. Six diapositives in black and white (approx. 8 x 10 cm) in an old slide box, including Lettow-Vorbeck and Kraut. Cardboard box with 27 diapositives in black and white (approx. 9 x 8 cm) and 75 negatives in black and white (approx. 9 x 12 cm). One box with 33 color slides East Africa and 37 diapositives German South West Africa. Box with five diapositives in black and white of the military cemetery Tanga. Original wooden box "Kraut Hildesheim" (approx. 38 x 17 x 17 cm) with roughly 100 slides (approx. 8 x 8 cm) German South West Africa from the 1920s/1930s (mandatory period). Including askaris, German officers, natives, battle shooting, railway, supply with pigs and poultry, Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Engare. Many slides with original captions by Kraut. Comes with the original projector Zeiss Ikon (newly electrified) in the original case by Henriksen & Steen (approx. 40 x 20 x 30 cm). Partly with cracks, minor flaws, slightly damaged, traces of use and age. A photographic treasure with many early color slides. On November 18, 1909, Georg Kraut was transferred to German East Africa, where he fought alongside Commander-in-Chief Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in World War I. For Georg Kraut, photography (many earlier color photographs!) and hunting played an important role during his time in the colony. After his return from Africa and his resignation as lieutenant colonel in 1920, he committed himself to his artistic interest and cultural activities primarily in his home town of Hildesheim. He gave lectures on his time in Africa during which he presented the slides offered at this auction. His slides also served partly as reference material for war publications, for example, by his friend Lettow-Vorbeck. Cf. auction 98, lots 3382 - 3384. No shipping, pickup only. Condition: II

NASA GEMINI IV Mission Photograph of astronaut Ed White floating in space over New Mexico, during the first American EVA. Vintage chromogenic print on "A Kodak Paper", numbered NASA in red (S-65-30433) in the upper margin. Printed NASA-MSC legend on back. Dated June 3, 1965. 25.5 x 20.5 cm with margins. Marginal handling marks. Gemini Titan IV (GT-4) was the second crewed mission of the Gemini program. James McDivitt and Edward White successfully completed this 4-day, 62-orbit flight between June 3 and 7, 1965. Only a few weeks before liftoff, the mission program was revised to include the first spacewalk (EVA - Extra-Vehicular Activity) by an American astronaut; a direct response to the success of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who performed the first EVA on March 18, 1965. On this occasion, White remained outside the spacecraft for 23 minutes. Connected to the capsule by a 7.6 m oxygen supply cord, Ed White used a propulsion gun to move around the capsule, to which a camera was also attached (see lot no. 41C). The capsule's reflection can be seen on the protective visor of his helmet, gold-plated to protect him from the sun's rays. Mc Divitt, from his commander's seat in the Gemini capsule, took 16 photos of Ed White floating in space. http://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/gallery/Gemini/4/Hasselblad%20500C%2070%20mm (Images 32 to 39, and 45 to 52). Radio transcript - this image was taken at T+04:39 after lift-off: 04:38:12 McDivitt: Okay. Ed, just free-float around. Right now we're pointing just about straight down at the ground. 04:38:14 White: Okay, now I'm taking a look back at the adapter and equipment back there. I can see the separation plane; it's quite clean. The thrusters are clean. The thermal paint, the thermal stripping looks quite good. Also, the velcro that we put on seems to be in good shape right by the camera. I'm coming back down on the spacecraft. I can sit up here and see the whole California coast. 04:38:58 White: Okay. Now I'm going to go out and see how much ..... if I've got enough harness. 04:39:26 White: The sky sure is black. Bibliography : National Geographic, September 1965, p.440-441.

NASA GEMINI IV mission Photograph of astronaut Ed White floating in space above a sea of clouds, during the first American EVA. Vintage print, numbered NASA (S-65-30272) in black in the upper margin. Printed NASA-MSC legend on back. Dated June 3, 1965. 25.5 x 20.5 cm with margins. Marginal handling marks. Gemini Titan IV (GT-4) was the second crewed mission of the Gemini program. James McDivitt and Edward White successfully completed the 4-day, 62-orbit flight between June 3 and 7, 1965. Only a few weeks before liftoff, the mission program was revised to include the first spacewalk (EVA - Extra-Vehicular Activity) by an American astronaut; a direct response to the success of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who performed the first EVA on March 18, 1965. On this occasion, White remained outside the spacecraft for 23 minutes. Taken while flying over the Pacific Ocean, this photograph has a beautiful aesthetic with Ed White standing out against a sea of clouds with the curvature of the earth in one angle of the shot. We see many details of the equipment used during this spacewalk. These include his steering thruster, on which the camera is mounted, and the 7.6 m cord that attaches him to Gemini and supplies him with oxygen, which is connected to the ventilation module attached to his chest. The entire Gemini capsule is visible in the reflection of its visor. Ed White gives the following desctiption of this photograph, ("Exploring space with a camera" , Edgar M. Cortright, 1968, p 151): "This was a picture taken by my teammate, James McDivitt, on the third revolution of Gemini IV. I had a specially designed spacesuit which had 21 layers of thermal and micrometeoroid protection. My face was protected by a double gold-plated visor which provided protection from the unfiltered rays of the Sun. In my hand I held a small self-maneuvering unit which gave me control of my movements in space. On my chest was an oxygen chestpack that regulated the flow of oxygen to my suit and provided an 8-minute supply of emergency oxygen. I was secured to the spacecraft by a 25-foot umbilical line and a 23-foot tether line, which were secured together and wrapped with a golden tape for thermal insulation. On the top of the Hand-held Self-Maneuvering Unit was mounted a 35mm camera to record the event from outside the spacecraft". Radio transcript - this image was taken at T+04:34 after lift-off: 04:34:24 McDivitt: Okay. Let me get some ..... to you, Ed. I ought to be getting some tremendous pictures of you. Let me try again with the Hasselblad. 04:34:31 White: Okay. I think I've exhausted my air now. 04:34:33 McDivitt: Okay. 04:34:36 McDivitt: Stay right there. 04:34:40 White: I had very good control with it. I just needed more air (on the self-maneuvering unit). 04:34:45 McDivitt: Okay. Stand by. Let me take a couple of pictures, ole buddy. 004:34:48 White: All right.

It was taken by Ed White during his EVA, using a Zeiss Contrarex 35 mm camera mounted above his Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit. Radio transcript: 04:36:02 White: I feel just about like a ..... commercial. 04:36:03 Capcom (Mission Control): Is he taking pictures? 04:36:11 Capcom: Take some pictures. 04:36:12 White: Okay. I'm going to work on getting some pictures, Jim. [...] 04:36:33 White: But I want to get out and shoot some good pictures. I'm not satisfied with that. [...] 04:37:47 McDivitt: Okay, do you want me to maneuver for you now, Ed? 04:37:50 White: No, I think you're doing fine. What I'd like to do is get all the way out, Jim, and get a picture of the whole spacecraft. I don't seem to be doing that. 04:38:00 McDivitt: Yes, I noticed that. You can't seem to get far enough away. [...] 04:41:10 White: Okay, I'm going to free drift a little bit, and see if I can drift into some good picture-taking position. 04:41:16 McDivitt: Okay.
