Keith Reynolds (American, B. 1929) "Golden Hinde" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. On December 13, 1577, in a boat less than the size of a small modern tug, Francis Drake set sail from England on a daring three-year odyssey that would take him into oceans hitherto explored only by the Spanish. Drake and about 160 men ventured forth in five vessels: the Pelican (which he later renamed the Golden Hinde), the Elizabeth, the Marigold, and the supply ships Swan and Benedict. Of the five, only the Golden Hinde, with a crew of about 50, completed the voyage. After passing safely through violent storms in the Strait of Magellan, Drake raided Spanish settlements along the west coast of South America. Drake captured two vessels with cargoes of gold, silver and jewels that were so heavy, they caused the Golden Hinde to sail below her watermark. Continuing northward, Drake sighted what is now Canada's west coast. But bitter cold forced him to turn back, and he set a course south and westward to the Philippines and Molucca (the Spice Islands), where he negotiated a trade treaty with the local sultan. From Java to Sierra Leone on the Cape of Good Hope -- 9,700 miles -- Drake sailed without a port of call or a stop for maintenance. On his return to England in September of 1580, he was greeted as a national hero. Queen Elizabeth I came on board his ship to dub him Sir Francis Drake. His fortune and reputation as a brilliant navigator were made -- and the way was opened to England to become a global superpower. Image Size: 15 x 12.5 in. Overall Size: 16.5 x 14.5 in. Unframed.

Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Yukon" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Cold Press 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 Canada 17c Flags of Canada Yukon stamp issued June 15, 1979. Like much of the Canadian west, the Yukon Territory was first explored by fur traders of the Hudson's Bay Company. With the discovery of gold in 1873, settlements were established along the Yukon and Stewart Rivers. In 1895, the Territory was incorporated into the newly-organized Northwest Territories along with the rest of the former Hudson's Bay Company lands, and the Northwest Mounted Police were dispatched to the region to maintain Canadian law. When a rich gold strike was made in the Klondike region in 1896, the real modern history of the Yukon began. Thousands of gold seekers swarmed into the Yukon from all over Canada and the United States, and the rough-and-ready reputation of the territory began to spread throughout the world. In 1898, an Act of Parliament separated the Yukon Territory from the Northwest Territories, and established local control over most questions of administration in the Territorial Capital at Whitehorse. By the end of the gold rush, in 1901, the Territory's population had risen to more than twenty-seven thousand. Twenty years later, barely over four thousand people remained in the Territory. Today, there are still fewer than thirty thousand people in the whole Territory. But the Yukon will continue to grow and to prosper, because its rich lands have the resources that the more developed lands to the east and south need: lead, zinc, copper, nickel, asbestos, cadmium, tungsten, coal, gold, and silver are but a few of the resources that the Yukon has in abundance.

Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Flowers - Manuscript Illumination" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting 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 Combination Cover for the Germany Medieval Manuscript Illumination stamps issued October 15, 1985. Amid a life of prayer, fasting and hard work, the monks of the Middle Ages found time to leave a magnificent artistic legacy for the entire world. Their artform, illumination, allowed the monks to transform simple, hand-copied pages into a treasure of artistry which has been handed down for generations. First came the artistic flourishes to the first letter in a paragraph. Marginal drawings explaining the Holy Scriptures followed and finally the artistic genius of the age burst forth in fantastic marginal landscapes, scrolling, vines, geometric shapes ... all embellished with gold and silver. Image Size: 12 x 14 in. Overall Size: 15 x 20 in. Unframed. (B09833)
