Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Black Bear and Sugar Maple" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published in the limited edition collection of philatelic proofcards issued by Fleetwood and the National Audubon Society for the Wildlife of the 50 States. Outgoing and inquisitive, Black Bears delight sightseers in many North American woodlands. They clown and cavort, beg for hand-outs and manage to survive, even though civilization encroaches on their territory. Smokey, the number one supporter of fire prevention in America, was a Black Bear cub when he was rescued from a New Mexico forest fire in 1951. When full-grown, Smokey became a resident of Washington, D.C.'s National Zoological Park. Not all Black Bears are as trustworthy as Smokey however, and, while they will docilely take sweets from human hands, they are just as capable of becoming aggressive. When not eating goodies offered by sightseers, Black Bears are primarily vegetarians. They eat berries and roots with only an occasional treat of rodents, ants or fresh meat. All this food insulates the Black Bear for a long winter's nap. From October to May, they sleep in caves or hollow logs. Females are roused from their lazy slumbers by the birth of cubs, usually twins, born in midwinter. The babies huddle against their mothers while they nurse until spring brings good weather and their first chance to discover the world. Mom teaches the cubs to climb trees like the Sugar Maple, chosen as West Virginia's state tree. She gently gives them lessons in hunting and cuffs them when they disobey. Cute, and just asking to be cuddled, Black Bear cubs captured Teddy Roosevelt's heart and inspired the ever-popular Teddy Bear that many young children now treasure. Image Size: 11.75 x 14.25 in. Overall Size: 20.25 x 22.25 in. Framed behind plexiglass. (B05662)

Gherman Alexeyvich Komlev (Russian, 1933 - 2000) "Troops Guarding Wagon Train" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas laid on Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the 8c Troops Guarding Wagon Train stamp issued June 18, 1998. Immigrants moving west constantly passed through hostile Indian lands. Because of the constant threat of attack, the United States Army was often asked to provide protection for settlers and their families. At a meeting with the Army, Hunkpapa Sioux Chief Bear Rib expressed his concerns over the emigration of settlers to traditional hunting grounds. "To whom does this land belong? I believe it belongs to me. If you ask me for a piece of land I will not give it. I cannot spare it, and I like it very much. All this country on each side of this river belongs to me, ... and if you, my brother, should ask me for it, I would not give it to you, for I like it and I hope you will listen to me." His words fell on deaf ears as settlers continued journeying to the West in increasing numbers. By the end of the 19th century, the U.S. Army had fought 24 "Indian Wars" and had participated in over 1,000 skirmishes. Even though the estimated 200,000 Indians of the Far West greatly outnumbered the 20,000 troops stationed at over 100 forts, the Indians stood no chance against the cavalry's superior firepower, supplies and tactics. One tribe after another succumbed and surrendered to be placed on reservations. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce echoed their sentiments, "Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." In 1883, General William T. Sherman concluded, "I now regard the Indians as substantially eliminated from the problem of the Army."

Arthur Singer (New York, 1917 - 1990) "Blue Hen and Peach Blossom" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the 20c Delaware: Blue Hen Chicken and Peach Blossom stamp issued on April 14, 1982. Blue Hen Chicken - Delaware furnished one regiment during the American Revolution, and certainly no regiment in the Army surpassed it in soldiership or had a longer service record. Their American comrades dubbed the Delaware men "the Blue Hen's Chickens," because, it was said, they fought with the tenacity of the blue-tinted game cocks they carried with them. These chickens were thought to be of the brood of a famous Blue Hen. When not fighting the enemy, the officers and men amused themselves by pitting these Blue Hen Chickens against each other. The fame of these cockfights spread throughout the Army, and remains a part of the Blue Hen Chicken's reputation to this day. Peach Blossom - The peach is one of those fruits which has been cultivated for so long, and over so wide an area, that its place of origin is obscured. However, it is generally believed to be a native of China, and to have been cultivated there thousands of years before it was brought to America. The flowering peaches are some of the loveliest of all trees. The rich deep pink Peach Blossoms are borne on the previous season's new branches only, and because they bloom very early in the year there is always danger of damage by late frosts. Peach trees seldom live longer than thirty years, and though they may bear some fruit when they are old, it is not profitable for orchards to keep trees more than nine years. Image Size: 13.75 x 11.75 in. Overall Size: 19.5 x 17.5 in. Unframed. (B05107)
