Limited edition color 26 x 20 lithograph entitled 'The Harbour' from Mandela's 'My Robben Island' suite, numbered 59/500, signed in the lower right in pencil, "N. Mandela." Rolled and in fine condition. Accompanied by the publisher's certificate of authenticity.This richly colored lithograph depicts the interment harbor where new prisoners would arrive. In Mandela's artist's motivation statement about the lithograph suite, he remarked: 'Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid In these sketches entitled: My Robben Island, I have attempted to colour the Island sketches in ways that reflect the positive light in which I view it. This is what I would like to share with people around the world and, hopefully, also project the idea that even the most fantastic dreams can be achieved if we are prepared to endure life's challenges.'Format: Lithograph
