Dark Side of the Moon

several years ago I came across a NASA photo at a flea market, It is an original with hand written notation, it is labeled

NASA-LRC Lunar Orbiter Project-mission IV
space craft frame 187 1 of 1
medium resolution.

I believe this was a project carried out in the early 60's to
scout for potential landing sites.

The following photos are macro shots from different areas of the poster sized print, I have enhanced them and so these are one of a kind photos.

So if you ever wondered what the other side of the moon looked like, here it is :)
