Charles J Lundgren (New York, Connecticut, 1911 - 1988) "Tovarisch" Signed lower right. Oil on Masonite. 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 USSR 20k Kruzenshtern stamp issued September 18, 1981. This 20th century wind machine climaxed the evolution of the sail yet the Kruzenshtern was only the after-glow of a brief and glorious day when the square-rigger touched perfection. Built in 1926 for the once-great Laeisz firm of Hamburg, this spectacular four-masted bark of 378 ft. and 3,064 tons was christened the Padua, and was the last of a generation of legendary "Flying P" German cargo square-riggers. One of the largest "windjammers" in the world, the Padua was designed to glide around Cape Horn at 16 knots with more than 4,000 square feet of sail. But soon, World War II and its advancing diesel technology finally completed what World War I had begun with its steam engines ... the twilight era of the windjammers. In 1946, the Laeisz firm's Padua became a war reparation from Germany to the Soviet Union and was renamed the Kruzenshtern after renowned Russian one of the very few commercial sailing ships that found "life after death," sailing as cadet training vessels, tradition-encrusted symbols of the seafaring past for modern navies. Now sailing under the Soviet flag, the Kruzenshtern is a cadet's dream, a legend of the sea, and a successor and creator of new seamanlike traditions. Image Size: 19.5 x 22 in.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Spacemobile on the Moon" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 45c Surface Rover 20th UPU Congress Series stamp issued November 27, 1989. Imagine a young moon child, nose pressed against space station window glass, eagerly awaiting his birthday gift from grandma. A message transmitted to the computer in his playroom told him the gift would come today. Now, his heart races with excitement as he sees the mailman's lunar rover making its way across the rough terrain in the soft light reflected from the huge globe of earth. This scene may seem farfetched, but a popular plan for establishing colonies in outer space begins with a mining operation on the moon to supply the raw materials necessary for building space stations farther away. Among the moon's resources are aluminum and titanium for structural shells, silicon for solar cells, silica for making glass, and oxygen -- unlikely though it may seem, this element is found in moonrock -- for life-support systems and rocket propellant. If a colony was established to extract these treasures, "moon miners" would undoubtedly want to keep in touch with family and friends back on earth, and earthbound grandmas would want to send packages to their grandchildren on the moon. Obviously, some kind of a postal system would be a necessity. Mail would reach the moon via spacecraft, but once on the moon's surface a lunar rover, perhaps like the one illustrated on this painting, would take the place of the trusty, earthbound mail jeep to deliver the letters and packages.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Buzz Aldrin" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 25c First Men on the Moon Astronaut Buzz Aldrin stamp issued August 1, 1989. Buzz Aldrin has the distinction of being the second man in history to set foot on the moon. A veteran astronaut of Gemini 12 and an Air Force Colonel at the time of the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, he had graduated third in his class from West Point and earned a Ph.D. from MIT in astronautics. As he stepped out onto the barren world that man had long dreamt of reaching, he remarked on how breathtaking the view was. And surely it must have been thrilling for Aldrin to stand upon the moon and admire the beauty of the blue and green sphere we call Earth. Image Size: 9.75 x 12 in. Overall Size: 16.5 x 23.25 in. Unframed. (B12123)

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Sacajawea" 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 Cover of the U.S. 29c Sacajawea stamp issued October 18, 1994. Only a few years of Sacajawea's life have actually been documented, but in that span of time she left a lasting mark on American history. She was born around 1790, daughter of a Shoshone chieftain. At about the age of 10, she was captured by a Hidatsa raiding party. A few years later the Hidatsa sold her to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian, who took her for his wife. During the winter of 1804-05, Charbonneau was hired by explorers Lewis and Clark as an interpreter. A few weeks before the expedition was to leave from Fort Mandan, Sacajawea gave birth to her first child, a son named Jean Baptiste. When Lewis and Clark headed upriver in April 1805, Sacajawea was the only woman to accompany them, carrying her infant in a cradleboard on her back. Since the Indians perceived a woman with a party of men as a token of peace, Sacajawea was held in high regard by the group. But she was also respected for being hardworking, intelligent and loyal. When the expedition encountered a party of Shoshone, Sacajawea was overjoyed to discover that its chief was her elder brother Cameahwait. After a tearful reunion, she chose to continue on toward the Pacific with her husband. On the return trek, the three Charbonneaus left the expedition. Here, the story of Sacajawea grows murky. Some say she died of "putrid fever" at Fort Manuel in 1812. Others claim she lived for some time among the Comanches before returning to her own people on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, where she died in 1884. Image Size: 14 x 12 in.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "U.S. House of Representatives" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. 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. 25c U.S. House of Representatives stamp issued April 4, 1989. The idea for the House of Representatives, as with its counterpart, the Senate, was born in 1787 during the Constitutional Convention. After ratification of the Constitution in 1789, the House began work with sixty-five members. The stamp featured on this First Day Cover commemorates the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the House, which by 1913 had grown to four hundred thirty-five members. Traditionally, the House has remained at that number, with the exception of a temporary expansion in 1959. At that time, Hawaii and Alaska became states, and two extra members were temporarily added to represent them in the House. Representatives are apportioned to states on the basis of population, and are reapportioned after each census to maintain a fair distribution. A Representative must be at least twenty-five years old, have been a citizen of the United States for seven years, and be a resident of the state that he or she is representing. Representatives conduct business in committees and subcommittees. The three most important committees are Ways and Means, Appropriations, and Rules, handling tax measures, funding for government agencies and the flow of business on the House floor, respectively. The House processes ten to fifteen thousand bills annually and helps enact a large number of public and private laws each year. The House also has the power to elect a President, should the electoral college fail to do so, and the House alone has the power to impeach the President and other high-ranking officials.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Battle of the Bulge - Infantry" Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Battle of the Bulge 1944 - Infantry stamp issued December 16, 1994. At 5:30 on the morning of December 16, 1944, secretly-massed German artillery opened fire on the thinly spread American defenders in the Ardennes. Operation "Watch on the Rhine" -- the Third Reich's last desperate gamble to save itself by forcing the Western Allies to make peace -- had begun. When the four-hour bombardment ended, German infantry and tanks, led by SS General Josef Dietrich, began advancing through the woods and hills of the Ardennes. The German advance against the badly outnumbered Americans created a 50-mile "bulge" in the Allied lines. The Americans battled back doggedly, however, and by early January the fight turned against the Germans. By the end of January German forces had been all but destroyed and the "bulge" squeezed out of existence. Image Size: 23.75 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 27 x 23.75 in. Unframed. (B14874)

People on both sides of the nearly four thousand mile Canadian-American border, appreciate and protect the wildlife that distinguishes the continued cooperation between the two countries. The Moose, the king of the northwest forest; the free-flying Mallard; and the famed Canada Goose are three of the animals that make the Canadian and American wilderness regions a natural paradise.

Ed Little (American, B. 1957) "Santa Claus Waving in Front of Chimney" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on CanvasBoard. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 29c Santa Claus Waving In Front Of Chimney stamp issued October 17, 1999. According to Clement C. Moore's fictional Christmas Eve encounter with St. Nick, commonly entitled "The Night Before Christmas," the droll, chubby elf known as Santa Claus likes to enter and exit houses via the chimney. Laying aside their natural skepticism at the feasibility of such a feat, Americans have accepted this unusual habit as a matter of fact for nearly two centuries. If Santa can deliver presents to houses all over the world during the course of one night, they reason, then sliding his ample personage down a narrow chimney must be relatively easy. While Santa Claus as a character is Yankee to the core, some of his habits have European origins. Santa's peculiar mode of entry has Scandinavian roots, evolving from an old Norse legend which maintained that the goddess Hertha's appearance in the fireplace brought the home and its occupants good luck. Across the Atlantic in the United States, the legend replaced Hertha with Santa Claus, whose yearly dispensation of bounty is for many believers the ultimate indication of good fortune.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Best Wishes stamp issued April 20, 1987. From our earliest childhood, to the maturity of our years, we eagerly wish the best to those we love. Perhaps a dear friend is leaving us to seek a better opportunity far away ... or perhaps a family member is about to undertake a new business venture. In either case, we find ourselves offering our Best Wishes! What a perfect way to offer our sincerest hope for the best of all possibilities to a friend or loved one. Formal enough for acquaintances, this sentiment is also a way to say we care to someone very dear. A salutation perfect for almost every joyful occasion, often times we are unable to offer our "Best Wishes" in person, so we find ourselves sending a card or letter to express our hope. This artwork is a lasting reminder of your best wishes for someone special. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 20 x 15 in. Unframed. (B10264)
