Rare 18 x 24 poster featuring a large portrait of Nelson Mandela above an inspirational quote, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, "To Bob Lamb, Best wishes, N. Mandela, 4-12-91." The printed quote reads: “Democracy is an ideal I wish to live for, but if need be, it is an ideal I am prepared to die for.” Archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 25.75 x 31.5. In very good condition, with scattered creases and several noticeable tears (most significantly to the nose and cheek areas). A stunning image captured by New York Times photographer Chester Higgins, Jr., in a rarely seen oversized format.
