About the Item

The Express Train published by Currier & Ives 152 Nassau Street New York City from the small folio shows a train traveling through the country side with smoke rising into the sky from the chimney of the engine car. In 1840 Nathaniel Currier gave the public a new way to see the news when the New York Sun, a local NY newspaper, contacted the young printer to issue a single sheet of Currier's recently published print titled ...Awful Conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington in Long Island Sound on January 18, 1840 . This single sheet is considered to make The Sun the very first illustrated newspaper ever published. And thus began the lucrative career of one the most famous publishing houses in America. Currier eventually teamed up with James Merritt Ives and the firm of Currier & Ives was born. They went on to produce over 7500 titles and over one million prints from 1835 to 1907 and provided the American public with the pleasure of having original art in their homes at an affordable price. Today these prints are considered valuable collectables and a part of our American history. This original hand-colored lithograph is in very good condition and is archival framed. size framed 20.50 x 25 Image size 8.50 x 13.50

  • Artist Motivation - Mandela, Former South African President, Inspirational Words
    By Nelson Mandela
    Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh
    Nelson Mandela, Artist's Motivation, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. In 2002, when creating the The Motivation print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired. This artwork is a handwritten Artist’s Motivation by Nelson Mandela and reads: “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. Robben Island is a place where courage endured in the face of endless hardship, a place where people kept on believing when it seemed their dreams were hopeless and a place where wisdom and determination overcame fear and human frailty. It is true that Robben Island was once a place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls, held back by prison bars...
