Charles J Lundgren (New York, Connecticut, 1911 - 1988) "U.S.S. West Virginia" Signed lower right. Oil on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for the U.S.S. West Virginia. One of America's "super dreadnoughts" the U.S.S. West Virginia received her commission on 1 December 1923 with Captain Thomas J. Senn in command. Honored with many trophies and awards, the "Wee Vee" was stationed at Pearl Harbor the morning of 7 December 1941. Rising Phoenixlike from the destruction of Pearl Harbor, the U.S.S. West Virginia took part in one of the most historic battles of World War II. On 12 October 1944 she sailed under the command of Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf for the invasion of the Philippines. On 18 October, the battle line passed into Leyte Gulf. By the next day, the U.S.S. West Virginia steamed into her assigned station in San Pedro Bay at 0700-hours to provide shore bombardment in the Tacloban area. On the 19th, her gunners sent 278 16-inch shells and 1,586 5-inch shells against enemy installations in preparation of the beach landings scheduled for the next day. The Japanese responded with strike force of their own - thus began the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The initial engagement occurred between the American subs Darter and Dace and the Japanese cruisers Maya and Atago. At 2236-hours on 24 October, the U.S.S. West Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania formed the last naval line-of-battle and on 25 October, they unleashed a devastating assault -- led by the 16-inch guns of the U.S.S. West Virginia on the Japanese forces. Image Size: 13.5 x 15.75 in. Overall Size: 20.5 x 21.75 in. Unframed. (B09991)

Kirk Stirnweis (Colorado, New Hampshire, B. 1967) "American Lobster" Signed lower left. Oil 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 of Issue Maximum Card of the 22c American Lobster issued on June 13, 1987. Living on the rocky, sandy bottoms, from the New England shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf, the American Lobster is an elusive quarry for fishermen. Lobsters dwell alone in crevices or in burrows under rocks. They are nocturnal, foraging at night for fish, algae, eel grass, or invertebrates. Like most arthropods, American Lobsters cannot grow without shedding their hard shells. Youngsters molt several times a year, but after reaching maturity, females molt only once every other year, while males do so annually. Molting is important in their reproductive cycle as well. For, mating can only take place within a few hours after the female has shed her shell. The female carries the fertilized eggs for several months before they are ready to hatch. Newly hatched Lobsters are free swimming and pass through three stages of development in about twelve days. During the fourth stage, they begin to look for a place to settle, and the the fifth stage they are ready to molt and spend the rest of their lives foraging on the ocean floor. Image Size: 13.5 x 18.25 in. Overall Size: 17.5 x 22.5 in. Unframed. (B10956)

Zhan Jianjun (Chinese, B. 1931) "Morning Clouds Above the Stone Forest" Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting is an original unsigned oil on canvas by Zhan Jianjun that was commissioned directly by Unicover. Helmuth Stone Gallery and Wind River Studios both guarantee the authenticity of this piece.This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the China 10fen Morning in the Stone Forest stamp issue of September 18, 1981.The sculptured summits of the Stone Forest, flushed with the rosy light of dawn, echo the simple philosophy with which the Chinese come to terms with life: to take life as it comes. Here in the sanctuary of the Stone Forest, the benediction of a quiet sunrise encourages this tranquil view of life. Surrounded by the green woods and lush mountain plateaus of Yunnan Province, the Stone Forest area reveals many colorful facets of Chinese life. The mainstay of the economy is agriculture, practiced by farmers in community farms. Those hardy men and women are experts in bringing forth crops from the soil, through their intimate closeness with nature and centuries of experience planting rice in terraced fields. Richly blessed rivers and lakes fill the fishermen's hold with the daily catch; thus fishing ranks as an important activity in Yunnan. One of the richest provinces in China, its natural resources are boundless. And yet, industry, too, has taken a prime role in its economic life. China treasures its youth, and children are seen in schools and playgrounds everywhere in Yunnan. The people have a predilection for dance and song; their diverse folk costumes are brightly adorned with ornaments and decorations of brass and shells. The infinite patience of the Chinese and their fine aesthetic sense is everywhere evident in the Yunnan Province, just as the morning glow of the Stone Forest, depicted in this artwork, reflects the timeless beauty of China's most unusual natural wonder.Sight Size: 27.5 x 23.5 in.

Cretaceous Period, 145-65 million years BP. A large Charonosaurus sp. hadrosaur egg on matrix retaining evidence of the original leathery surface. 3.6 kg, 15cm (6"). Property of a Cambridgeshire gentleman since 1990; previously in a private collection formed in the 1980s. Dinosaur eggs are known from about 200 sites around the world, the majority in Asia and mostly in terrestrial (non-marine) rocks of Cretaceous Age.
