Mark Schuler (American, B. 1951) "First American Satellite 1958" 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 American 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.

Hodges Soileau (American, B. 1943) "Red Cloud" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas laid on foam 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. 10c Red Cloud stamp issued August 15, 1987. Born in 1822 on Blue Creek in Nebraska, Red Cloud earned a reputation as a warrior, diplomat and leader. Described as a natural born gentleman, Red Cloud led an independent band in the 1860's, and was eventually accepted as leader of the Oglala Sioux -- the largest Teton Sioux tribe. Throughout this period the Oglala dominated the rich Powder River hunting grounds of Wyoming and Montana. Meanwhile, as the Civil War raged eastward, John Bozeman was sent to map a trail through Oglala territory to the Montana gold fields. Red Cloud strongly opposed the route, and, in hopes of peaceably stopping its use, he attended a council at Fort Laramie in June 1866. There he discovered a column of soldiers leaving to build three forts for protection of travelers to the gold fields. Red Cloud immediately left the council, and during the next few months gathered two thousand warriors to constantly harass the forts. On December 21, 1866, the Indians set an ambush that annihilated Captain W.J. Fetterman and his eighty men. During the following months, Red Cloud kept relentless pressure on the three forts until he succeeded in forcing their abandonment. He won both victory and peace with the treaty he signed on November 6, 1868. In his later years, Red Cloud continued to lead the Oglalas, while heading the Red Cloud Agency at Fort Robinson. On October 7, 1878, he established the Sioux Agency. Blind and ailing, Red Cloud died December 10, 1909. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 18.25 x 16.25 in. Unframed. (B11201)
