David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Pearl Harbor" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Japanese Attack Pearl Harbor 1941 - American Warplanes stamp issued December 7, 1991. At 8 a.m. on the morning of December 7, 1941, Army Lt. General Walter Short heard from his quarters the distant rat-tat of gunfire and the muted roar of aircraft engines. Within minutes a junior officer confirmed that Fort Shafter 13 miles inland from Pearl Harbor, was under attack from enemy aircraft, as were Wheeler and Hickam Fields and Kaneohe Naval Air Station. Chaos ruled the day, for Short -- fearful of sabotage -- had ordered all aircraft to be kept in wing-to-wing formations in the center of the unprotected airfields. Although only a few aircraft survived the first attack, American pilots attempted to pursue the enemy. But their valiant efforts could not stem the Japanese onslaught, which had effectively destroyed 75 percent of America's Pacific-based air power. Image Size: 27 x 19.25 in.

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Undampened Spirits" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared in the Fleetwood Trails West Collection of Fine Art Prints as "Undampened Spirits" published in 1983. When Marcus Whitman returned from Oregon in 1843, tales of free land in the western "paradise" began to sweep the country. Talk of settling there became widespread with thousands of people selling their belongs and gathering in western Missouri to join in the "Great Migration" west. They came to the towns of Independence or St. Joseph, Missouri, or Council Grove, Kansas, where abundant pasture and fresh springs would sustain them as they prepared their caravans for the long, arduous journey. Not one of them knew the way to go, so they joined forces and hired a guide to take them. A captain was elected and rules were drawn up. Supplies were purchased and the wagon train would finally be ready to begin its long journey. Life on the trail was difficult, uncomfortable, and often dangerous. The travelers were constantly plagued by either dryness and dust -- or rain and mud. In her diary, Amelia Stewart Knight wrote on June 1, 1853, about the realities of pioneer travel: "The men and boys are all soaking wet and look sad and comfortless. The little ones and myself are shut up in the wagons from the rain ... take us all together we are a poor looking set, and all this for Oregon. I am thinking while I write, 'Oh, Oregon, you must be a wonderful country.' " In spite of these hardships, most of the pioneers reached their goal. By the end of the Great Migration, more than eight thousand Americans had settled in the Oregon country, spirits undampened by the hard trek west. Overall Size: 18 x 21 in. Unframed. (B07479)

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Boy with Old Trains" 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 for the U.S. 29c Toy Train stamp issued October 22, 1992. Nothing quite compares to the aroma of a mother's kitchen on Christmas morning. The scents of roasting turkey, baking pies and steaming plum pudding not only invigorate one's appetite, but also stir memories of Christmases past. Feasting on special occasions is an age-old custom dating back to the ancient days of the hunter and gatherer. Primitive man ate when he could. After a successful hunt he gorged himself on meat ... and more meat. When berries were ripe, he ate berries ... and more berries. With the advent of agriculture, the harvest marked a time of plenty, and people ate heartily when the crops were in. Perhaps the most fabled holiday feast in humankind's history was served in England on Christmas Day in 1770, at Sir Henry Grey's. It consisted of one pie that measured 9 feet in circumference and weighed twelve stone -- 168 pounds. Inside, baked to perfection, were four geese, four wild ducks, two woodcocks, two turkeys, four partridges, seven blackbirds, six pigeons, two rabbits, two cow's tongues, two bushels of flour, 20 pounds of butter and various other items. This meal spawned the English colloquialism: "The Devil himself dare not appear in Cornwall during Christmas for fear of being baked in a pie." Image Size: 13.75 x 12.5 in. Overall Size: 23.25 x 19 in. Unframed. (B13936)

David K Stone (Oregon, 1922 - 2001) "Benjamin Franklin" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. Benjamin Franklin may have been the first true American -- and the most representative, particularly of our more amiable and familiar characteristics. He was the first to use the "American" language as in Poor Richard's Almanac and his Autobiography. He was clearly the first American journalist and humorist. He was the leading American educator; founder of public libraries, the American Philosophical Society, and the College of Philadelphia -- which later became the University of Pennsylvania -- and he championed a practical American education. He was the leading American scientist of his day, and was gladly welcomed to the most prestigious European Academies where he was always "Doctor Franklin." He was also the first American politican-statesman, and has some claim to being the leading statesman of his generation. His Albany Plan of Union (1754) foreshadowed American Federalism; he helped draft and sign the Articles of Confederation; he presided over the Constitutional Convention, and he also represented the United States, in both London and Paris. Above all, Franklin was an irrespressible do-gooder: He could not look at a stove without planning a better stove ... or a school ... or the postal service ... or a Constitution; in all these matters he took the lead. It has been said "he wrestled the lightning from the skies and hurled tyrants from their thrones." Image Size: 21 x 18 in. Overall Size: 27.25 x 23.75 in. Unframed. (B07902)

David K Stone (Oregon, 1922 - 2001) "Benjamin Franklin and Map of America 1783" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. 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. 20c Treaty of Paris stamp issued September 2, 1983. The American Revolution raged on for years as America fought desperately for her freedom and independence. However, the course of the war and the history of America was abruptly changed in 1783, when the famous Treaty of Paris was signed. This important treaty, which officially ended the American Revolution, was signed on September 3, 1783, by such key figures in American history as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay. It was hailed as "one of the most important political events that ever happened on this globe" by John Adams. In addition, Benjamin Franklin called it "the greatest triumph in the history of American diplomacy." Aside from ending the Revolutionary War, the Treaty of Paris also set up a number of conditions regarding America's rights and boundaries. For example, the treaty established the boundaries of the United States at the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River and the northern border of Florida ... which the British ceded to Spain. It also recognized the right of Americans to fish off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and to navigate the Mississippi River freely. This historic treaty -- between Great Britain on one side and the United States, France, Spain, and Holland on the other -- was of great magnitude to America. Image Size: 21 x 18.25 in.

William Wallace Denslow was an American illustrator best remembered for his work in collaboration with author L. Frank Baum, especially his illustrations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. With his profits from his plays and books, Denslow bought a small island in Bermuda, built a “castle” on it, and crowned himself King Denslow I of Denslow Island. He began drinking heavily as his career went into a slump, and spent his last years working for a third-rate advertising agency in New York, drawing postcards, sheet music covers, advertising booklets, and an occasional magazine illustration. In 1915, he unexpectedly sold a cover to the popular humor weekly, Life, went on a bender with the money, caught pneumonia, and died. [26473-1-150]
