Ink and pencil drawing on paper. Apollo 16 EVA II, 22 April 1972. A page from a spiral-bound sketchbook. Scenes of the extravehicular activity (EVA) of Apollo 16 overlap in a collage of three parts. The larger, top element is of two astronauts in their gold-visor helmets facing away from each other. The lower left is a rectangle with a black band across the top and a yellow shape, presumably the lunar module, against a blue background. The lower right element is a rear view of two astronauts against a reddish-orange background. The text in the upper right corner reads: "Apollo 16: EVA II 22 April 72 at the Goddard Spaceflight Center: Views of Young and Duke and "Orion" on the moon…from the large projected TV image inside the Network Operations Control Center…the color distortion is beautiful…unreal."
