During the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in July, 1969, artists Frank McMahon, Paul Calle, and Robert McCall were officially invited to sketch the historic events on the ground as they unfolded.

According to the Smithsonian, which preserves the sketches, the artists were dispatched to "to NASA facilities with an invitation to paint whatever interested them."

"Paul Calle produced a number of drawings documenting the morning of July 16th, 1969. He was the only artist present as the Apollo 11 astronauts suited up for their mission to the Moon."

Robert McCall sketched the Saturn V launch vehicle behind a natural foreground, with birds flying lazily by.

"The result," says Smithsonian, "was an extraordinary collection of works of art proving, as one observer noted, 'that America produced not only scientists and engineers capable of shaping the destiny of our age, but also artists worthy to keep them company.'"
