Jim Butcher (American, B. 1944) "Winter Mischief" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media 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 U.S. 15c Cape Cod Windmill stamp issued February 7, 1980. Whirling wildly or stopping completely when not driven by the declining breeze, windmills always obey the wind. About 644 A.D. Persian millwrights discovered the power generated by attaching sails to center posts that were twirled around by the wind. Modern windmills, intricately designed and usually made of newer materials, are still based on these original principles of harnessing wind power. As successors of the ancient Persian windmills, America's mills were first built in the colonies by the Puritans. Perhaps the oldest mill on Cape Cod, the Eastham Mill, best represents these original Puritan structures. Built sometime before 1793, its style, traditionally found in the Netherlands, was once common among the mills that dotted the Atlantic coast during this country's early history. Hundreds of these mills once pumped ocean water into storage vats to extract the salt. But, once salt deposits were found inland, the process was abandoned as primitive, and the mills were allowed to decay. The years of work and wear soon took their toll on the neglected mills and, of those that actually pumped water to extract salt, not one is left standing. The Cape Cod Windmill depicted on this artwork represents those working mills. Its sails seem to recall the days when wind awakened them and rumbled their revolving wheels. And, although it has not operated for many years, it is a testimony to its miller's careful management, a respected trade that was often passed down for several generations.

Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Battle of North Cape - HMS Duke of York" Original Oil on Canvas painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 29c Battle of North Cape 1943 HMS Duke of York stamp issued December 26, 1993. Sailing amidst a convoy loaded with supplies for Britain's Soviet allies, the battleship HMS Duke of York was ready, willing and able to deliver a shocking blow to Germany's war effort. For nearly two months at the end of 1943, Allied convoys voyaging between Scotland and Russia's arctic port of Murmansk had been unmolested by German forces. But on December 26, 1943, Germans aboard the battlecruiser Scharnhorst proposed a change. Little did they know that the Duke of York, captained by Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser, was prepared to save the day for convoy JW-55B. In a battle that saw Germany lose its last seaworthy battlecruiser, the Duke of York and several British destroyers sent nearly 2,000 German sailors aboard the doomed Scharnhorst to Davy Jones's locker. Image Size: 13.5 x 16.75 in. Overall Size: 16.75 x 19.75 in. Unframed. (B14458)
