Description

Mandela's sought-after 'The Struggle Series'

Beautiful limited edition set of six small-format lithographs entitled ‘The Struggle Series,’ numbered 176/950, each measuring 5.75 x 8.25, signed on the first lithograph in pencil, “N. Mandela.” The signed print reproduces Mandela’s handwritten description of the series, and the other prints are of sketches done by Mandela that chronicle his people's struggle; all six also feature Mandela’s facsimile signature inherent to the print. The sketches are entitled ‘Struggle,’ ‘Imprisonment,’ ‘Freedom,’ ‘Unity,’ and ‘Future.’ Mandela explains: ‘These sketches are not so much about my life as they are about my own country.’ In very fine condition, with light wear to the box. Accompanied by the publisher’s certificate of authenticity and the original handsome black embossed box. An absolutely stunning, scarce set signed by one of the great activist leaders of the 20th century.
