Welcome to the new series of handmade posters dedicated to showcasing the Black History icons and legends that had positive important impacts on society!
The 'Enlightened Precipice' Series consists of handmade/hand-cut multiple-level cardboard posters featuring the legendary icons who made indelible contributions to both American and Canadian society. These limited edition wall posters will act as a daily reminder of what hard work, perseverance, and valor look like.
This poster showcases Bessie Coleman - the first Black woman to obtain her pilot's license and she's considered to be one of the greatest female daredevil pilots of all time!
Each Bessie Coleman 3D poster is limited to only 15-copies exclusively and comes signed and numbered on the backside. After all 15 copies sell out, the poster will be retired and will never be reproduced!
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THIS POSTER SERIES:
- Each poster in the Enlightened Precipice (America) Series displays a 3D photo of the featured icon, a short description of their best-known contributions to society/art/business, a wood-textured American flag border, and a gold-textured name-plate.
- The images are hand-cut out of Canadian 275 lbs. double-corrugated industrial cardboard (the stuff used to transport heavy appliances like refrigerators and stoves) by award-winning cardboard artist Luanga Nuwame.
- As an innovative first-ever design for educational posters, each piece comes with a magnetic removable West African Adinkra symbol disk that the owner can place on any metal surface. Adinkra symbols originated in Ghana, and they represent evocative messages that convey traditional wisdom, aspects of life, the environment, and are also associated with proverbs. In essence, you can take the heroic spirit of the featured icon, through the Adinkra disk, anywhere!
ALL POSTERS START SHIPPING February 1st, 2024. For pieces ordered and made after that date, please allow up to 3 days for the 3D poster to be completed before we send it through the post. All purchases commence production in the exact order they are received.
