THREE NEW LIMITED EDITIONS
Commemorating the Great Negro Baseball Leagues
Award-winning artist Kadir Nelson celebrates the triumphant institution that became one of the most successful African
-American enterprises in history, the Negro Baseball Leagues. Home to talented baseball players like Josh Gibson, Satchel
Paige and Cool Papa Bell, crafty owners like Gus Greenlee and Effa Manley, and devoted, adoring fans, the Negro Leagues
set the stage for greats like Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays to create history on their own terms.
With these new limited edition prints from Nelson’s New York Times best-selling book, “WE ARE THE SHIP: The Story of
Negro League Baseball,” Nelson pays tribute to the men and women who defied all odds to create a grand stage that would
allow them to play high-class baseball and challenge the ideals of Jim Crow America during the first half of the twentieth century.
Each image will be available as limited edition gicleés on either archival watercolor paper or canvas, or both; with Artist’s
Proofs, Remarqués, or Hand-Embellished Proofs. Each print will be individually signed and numbered by the artist and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
