Shells from Robben Island

My husband was a political prisoner on Robben Island from 1977 to 1991. This photo of him was taken in the G cell with a camera that had been smuggled in by a visitor. It was in April 1991 and most political prisoners had been released - and the guards weren´t as vigilant as they used to be.
Prisoners left Robben Island with their few belongings packed i apple boxes: Mainly letters, journals and books. My husband had a collection of shells that he had secretly picked on his way to work in the lime quarry.
It might not look like much to the world, but it is my most treasured possession.
