Mark Schuler (American, B. 1951) "First Man-Made Satellite 1957" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 45c First Man-Made Satellite stamp issued November 24, 1989. By the early 1950s, rockets were widely employed in studying the upper atmosphere. Scientists realized, however, that artificial satellites could perform the same duties much more efficiently. On July 29, 1955, President Eisenhower announced that the United States planned to launch "small unmanned earth-circling satellites." On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union became the world's first nation to successfully launch an artificial satellite --Sputnik 1. On January 31, 1958, the U.S. launched Explorer 1, the first American space satellite. Explorer 1 discovered Earth was surrounded by ionized particles of energy. On March 17, 1958, the U.S. orbited Vanguard I, which demonstrated that Earth is almost imperceptibly pear-shaped with a slight bulge in the Southern Hemisphere. On October 1, 1958, the U.S. established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to manage the country's fledgling space program. On February 17, 1959, NASA launched Vanguard II, which was designed to provide information about Earth's cloud cover. Vanguard III followed several months later and was used to map Earth's magnetic field. The birth of the Space Age provided mankind with new insights into the mysterious universe and our place in it.

"Troupeau, Paissant, Sous Bois" (Herd Grazing in Undergrowth), oil on canvas, signed lower right. Charles Jacque was among the first generation of painters to leave the city for the forest of Fontainebleau, where he helped to establish the Barbizon School. Also a founding and influential member of the "Men of 1830", a loose movement of artists who, spurred on by the Revolution of 1830, sought out new directions in landscape painting. His strong, realistic, yet sensitive depictions of shepherds and their flocks form one of the most cohesive and important bodies of work produced by the movement.Born in Paris, Jacque began his training in etching rather than painting, as an apprentice to a map engraver. In this area, Jacque was unsurpassed among his colleagues in the Barbizon school. After military service, he went to England, where he worked as an engraver for La Charivari. Returning to France after two years abroad, he made his Salon debut in 1833 and regularly contributed paintings every year until 1870. Winning medals for both etching and painting, he was awarded the Legion d'honneur in 1867.During the 1840s, he and his friend, Jean-Francois Millet moved to the village of Barbizon where they felt they could more realistically portray nature. Jacque bought a house there and, influenced by Diaz's technique and Millet's themes, found his inspiration in hen-houses, pigsties and flocks of sheep at pasture. Jacque left Barbizon in 1854 and continued to paint in the outskirts of Paris until his death.Overall size: 39 x 35 in. Sight size: 24 1/2 x 20 1/2 in. Please note that all sales are final.

FILSON, John (ca 1747-1788).

Daniel Boon, one of the first Settlers, comprehending every important Occurrence in the political History of that Province... Wilmington, Del.: James Adams, 1784.8vo in 4s (196 x 194 mm). Without the map, as usual. (Small tissue repair to gutter margin title page recto crossing a few letters but not affecting legibility, without final blank leaf P4, some browning or spotting throughout.) Modern calf. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK ON KENTUCKY, AND THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF DANIEL BOONE. John Filson, one of the founders of Cincinnati, acquired 13,000 acres in Lexington, Kentucky, where he worked as a teacher and surveyor. Daniel Boone himself (along with Levi Todd and James Harrod) vouch for the authenticity of Filson's text: "at the request of the author of this book, and map, [we] have carefully revised them, and recommend them to the public, as exceedingly good performances, containing as accurate a description of our country as we think can possibly be given." Filson's text occupies 41 pages, followed by three appendices, the first of which is "The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon," dictated by Boone. Filson refines Boone's diction, but the resulting narrative stands as a classic account of the settlement and exploration of the frontier. Boone concludes that "This account of my adventures will inform the reader of the most remarkable events of this country." Included here are also descriptions of the discoveries of mammoth bones and burial sites are also recounted, as are descriptions of Indian customs and manners. Tenoor Rook's map, mentioned on the title-page, was printed separately in Philadelphia and is virtually never found with the text. According to American Book Prices Current, no copy of the book with the map has been sold at auction since the Robert Hoe copy was sold as part of the stock of George D. Smith in 1921.
