EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a historic moment in time, showcasing the legendary Nelson Mandela standing on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street alongside Prime Minister John Major. Taken on October 7th, 1996, in London, UK, this image encapsulates the power and significance of political diplomacy during the late 20th century. The photograph showcases an impactful handshake between two influential figures - Mandela and Major - symbolizing unity and collaboration amidst challenging times. Both men played pivotal roles in shaping their respective nations' political landscapes; Mandela as a revered anti-apartheid activist turned President of South Africa, and Major as the leader of Great Britain. The composition highlights the grandeur of Number 10 Downing Street's entrance while emphasizing the warmth exchanged between these leaders. Their smiles radiate genuine camaraderie and mutual respect for one another's accomplishments. This image serves as a testament to Mandela's global impact beyond his home country's borders.
