Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, BC: 6/62 19) SRO* for SPACE: John Glenn's capsule, having orbited the earth \ three times in five hours, is now making the rounds more slowly \ as a prize exhibit of the U.S. information program. Here the \ scarred heat shield is inspected by Parisians. The capsule has \ also drawn big crowds in Belgrade, Madrid and Accra. \ *Note to Foreign Editors: "SRO" means "standing room only" -- \ a term used principally in theatres. \ Credit: Marc Riboud © 1962 MAGNUM
