Harbin, Robert. Robert Harbin Origami Dog and Signed Postcard. Two pieces, comprising a real photo postcard of Harbin, signed in the margin and dated in a second hand ?(9/57?), and a folded origami dog (length 2 ??) made by Harbin. Accompanied by a LOA. The origami figure is believed to be one of the last Harbin made. According the accompanying letter of authenticity, Harbin produced this model aboard the H.M.S. Oriana in 1978 for fellow entertainer Jimmy Marshall. Harbin fell ill during the voyage and was flown from Hong Kong to London for treatment, and died a week later.
