Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Woolly Mammoth Walking in Snow Storm" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor 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. 32c Woolly Mammoth stamp issued June 8, 1996. Ancestor of the present-day elephant, the mammoth originally inhabited the temperate climate of the northern hemisphere during the glacial period. Eventually it journeyed further north where it survived until the Neolithic Period. It is believed that these huge prehistoric beasts prospered during post-glacial times when northern Asia was covered with pine forests, supplying the mammoth with an abundance of vegetation. Due to slow climatic changes, these forests disappeared and may be one of the reasons for the mammoth's extinction. Mammoth fossils are quite common throughout northern Europe, North America and Asia. The ivory of this magnificent beast was so abundant that during the Middle Ages it was exported from Siberia to China and Europe. In 1799, the first intact mammoth carcass was discovered. Frozen into icy cliffs along the Arctic coast of Siberia, this find enabled paleontologists to successfully reconstruct the mammoth's form and features. In 1801, another discovery was made in Siberia in which a complete skeleton -- including entire mammoth tusks still in their sockets -- had been preserved in the ice. This specimen exhibited thick skin covered with dark, dense woolly fur, and tusks that measured over nine feet in length. Mammoth tusks are distinct from present-day elephant tusks in that they display a vast outward and upward sweep. The largest mammoth tusks on record were found in Alaska and measure nearly 13 feet long. Image Size: 18 x 18.5 in. Overall Size: 18 x 20 in. Unframed. (B15127)
