Dr. Robert H. Goddard Portrait NASAPhoto of Dr. Robert Goddard, a pioneer in rocket development. Dr. Goddard received patents for a multi-stage rocket and liquid propellants in 1914 and published a paper describing how to reach extreme altitudes six years later. That paper, "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes," detailed methods for raising weather-recording instruments higher than what could be achieved by balloons and explained the mathematical theories of rocket propulsion. The paper, which was published by the Smithsonian Institution, also discussed the possibility of a rocket reaching the moon-a position for which the press ridiculed Goddard. Yet several copies of the report found their way to Europe, and by1927, the German Rocket Society was established, and the German Army began its rocket program in 1931. Goddard, meanwhile, continued his work. By 1926, he had constructed and tested the first rocket using liquid fuel. Goddard's work largely anticipated in technical detail the later German V-2 missiles, including gyroscopic control, steering by means of vanes in the jet stream of the rocket motor, gimbal-steering, power-driven fuel pumps and other devices.

We expertly retouch and restore old historic images to be as good or better looking than the originals. We start by finding the highest quality negative, print or digital file that is known to exist. Our restoration artists then meticulously remaster each image with special attention to color reproduction, contrast, exposure, dust and scratch removal, and often many hours of extensive digital repair. Each photograph is then expertly printed using modern professional lab technology. The combination of fine artistry, today's professional lab print technology and meticulous detail to attention, results in a museum quality fine art print that rivals, or in most cases exceeds, the beauty and quality of the original. At The McMahan Photo Archive, you are always buying our best!
