Titled Voyage to Another World, the collection of some 2,400 photographs in 700 lots with estimated values ranging from $1,060 to $40,000 were curated over 15 years by Victor Martin-Malburet, and includes a catalog comprised from NASA transcripts that 'retraces mankind's first journey to another world, step by step,' the auction house said.

'The astronauts are often portrayed as great scientists and heroes, but rarely are they hailed as some of the most significant photographers of all time,' Martin-Malburet said. 'From the thin protections of their space capsules and EMUs (extravehicular Mobility Units), they captured, with skill and daring, photographs, which immediately embraced the iconography of the sublime, inspiring awe and wonder.'
