Lot 301
Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, April 16, 1955. Marker signed lower right. This young artist is studying the locket perched atop the bosom of the lady in the painting on the left. He is apparently trying to master the technique used to paint it. The three gentlemen, Dutch cavaliers, in the canvas next door look somewhat flabbergasted at his impudence. Maybe they are also slightly jealous. They are probably wondering what he is looking at through his magnifier. The lady in the painting, however, seems flattered at the attention. She is glancing sideways at the young man. And she is smiling. Image Size: 18.25 x 17 in. Overall Framed Size: 28.5 x 26.5 in. Framed behind glass.

Howard Koslow (American, 1924-2016) "Old St Louis Post Office" Original Acrylic painting on Illustration Board. Signed lower right. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Postal Card issued September 7, 1984. The French Baroque architectural style that is so splendidly represented in the Old St. Louis Post Office has always elicited strong reaction from those who view it. People have either loved or hated the massive ornate structure. The initial construction of this vast building began in 1874, and progressed slowly, and meticulously for the next ten years. From its richly colored Missouri red granite basement walls to the majestic upper stories of sparkling gray granite, the massive exterior walls and columns rise in pristine condition through three stories and an attic level. The silhouetted profile of the Old Post Office once climaxed in a flourish against the sky with a cast iron cupola that rose sixty feet above the domed roof, a crowning feature that had to be removed in 1925. Yet, a French sculpture still decorates the crowning pediment of the central pavilion against the dome. Not as visible, but equally sound is the internal construction, with low vaulted masonry. The imprint of quality carries through the interior with solid mahogany doors with bronze hardware; richly ornamented cast iron stairways, columns, and door and window frames; imported encaustic tile floors; marble mantels, fancy plasterwork and exquisitely detailed fittings of the Post Office. Image Size: 12 x 14 in. Overall Size: 21.25 x 18 in. Unframed. (B07729)

Sir Hugh Casson (United Kingdom, 1910 - 1999) "Royal Opera House, London" Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Westminster Collector's Society Great Britian 13p Royal Opera House stamp issued May 7, 1980. David Garrick, one of Britain's greatest actors, captured the intensity of Shakespeare's Hamlet for his London audience. Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, thrilled audiences with her rich soprano voice and, more recently, Rudolph Nureyev hypnotized ballet lovers with his grace and agility. Such events represent the rich and colorful history of the Royal Opera House. Sometimes called Covent Garden Theatre, this magnificent building was erected on a plot of land that once belonged to the monks of Westminster Abbey. King Henry VIII claimed the land and, in 1732, a theatre devotee named Mr. Rich, leased the site to build a playhouse which he called the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. Although a tragic fire destroyed the theatre in 1808, it was rebuilt that same year. In 1856, flames swept through the theatre once again. Architect, E.M. Barry refused to let London's theatre die. He salvaged the portico, a frieze and panels from the previous building and reconstructed the Royal Opera House as it stands today. During the late nineteenth century the theater fell on hard times, and for several years served only as an annex to the fruit and vegetable market next door. But, since 1950, the theatre has regained its grandeur and rebuilt its reputation. Its white, gold and scarlet interior is one of the most splendid in Europe and the world's most talented entertainers once again grace its stage. Image Size: 12.5 x 14 in. Overall Size: 14 x 16 in. Unframed. (B06021)
