David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Wagon Train under Attack" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared in the Fleetwood Trails West Collection of Fine Art Prints as "Western Romance" published in 1983. On May 17, 1871, a government contractor's wagon train slowly rolled across the dry peaceful desert plains near Salt Creek, Texas ... about twenty-two miles from the military forces of Fort Richardson. Suddenly, the peacefulness of the day was shattered when the small wagon train found itself under attack by a savage band of Kiowa and Comanche renegade Indians, led by the fierce Indian warriors Satanta, Satank, Big Tree and Eagle Heart. The small wagon train fought fiercely to fend off the attacking Indians, but it was all in vain. When the dust settled, a grisly scene of blood and smoke was all that remained of the wagon train and its passengers. One wagonmaster and six teamsters were brutally killed ... one of these being tied to his wagon wheel, viciously scalped, and then burned to death by the renegades. However, one fortunate member of the party was only wounded through the foot, and was barely able to escape the marauding savages. He quickly rode to the nearby settlement of Jacksboro where he reported the nightmare-like affair to the United States Army. Under the direction of General Sherman, the military apprehended the leaders of the renegade Indians and stopped the savage attacks. Overall Size: 18 x 21 in. Unframed. (B07770)

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Space Shuttle Orbiter" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. The total time from the Space Shuttle's liftoff to Earth orbit is ten minutes. Some twenty-seven miles above the Earth two solid propellant boosters are jettisoned after burnout. The solid rockets descend by parachute to a preselected recovery point in the ocean. They will be refurbished for use on a later Shuttle mission. In orbit, the orbiter uses its maneuvering subsystem to adjust its path for rendezvous operations, and at the end of its mission for slowing down for return to Earth. The first Shuttle payload, planned for the second flight, will be a series of environmental and earth-resources experiments. One experiment will evaluate whether orbiting radar can be used to make geological maps good enough for oil and mineral exploration. Another will measure ocean color as a means of locating plankton or good fishing grounds. Other equipment will measure man-made carbon monoxide pollution in the atmosphere and study the structure of lightning from above. Although flight four will carry up either a science pallet or a military satellite, the main business of the first four flights will be checking out the spacecraft. Astronomers and scientists are looking forward to a new vision of space. Image Size: 16.5 x 25.5 in. Overall Size: 18 x 26.75 in. Unframed. (B06899)

David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "American Eagle Shield" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. 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. 34c Official Mail Coil stamp issued February 27, 2001. Prior to 1873, United States government employees could mail official documents by simply using their signature. This was known as franking -- a method of sending mail without paying for postage. Unfortunately, the system was prone to abuse and, in the years following the Civil War, misuse of the free-franking privilege significantly increased. In 1873, Congress abolished the system altogether and approved the first Official Mail stamps to be used by government agencies. The United States issued special stamps and postal stationery to be used by America's nine government departments -- Agriculture, Executive, Interior, Justice, Navy, Post Office, State, Treasury and War. Each department issued stamps represented by a specific color, for example, Agriculture stamps were always printed in yellow, Justice stamps in purple, Navy stamps in blue, State stamps in green and Treasury stamps in brown. Printed in denominations from 1? through $20, these first Official Mail stamps were printed by the Continental Bank Note Company, and portrayed distinguished profiles of noted Americans -- Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Edwin Stanton, Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Winfield Scott, Alexander Hamilton, Oliver Perry and William Seward. Since 1983, all Official Mail stamps have featured the majestic bald eagle -- a proud symbol of America and its postal service. Image Size: 21.5 x 17.75 in. Overall Size: 27 x 24 in. Unframed.

Ron Sloan (American, B. 1950) "U.S. Flag over Capitol Building" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 22c Flag Over Capitol stamp issued March 29, 1985. As it has for nearly two hundred years, the American Flag flies high above the stone and marble building of the United States Capitol. Countless hearts have been filled with pride at the site of this revered structure, for no other building -- not even the White House -- is more closely linked to the great strength and glory of the United States of America. It stands at the heart of America's democratic government ... and is the focal point of the resounding deeds, ideals, and aspirations of the American people. The United States Capitol is where America's elected representatives make the laws -- as guided by the Constitution -that govern the way Americans live. Doubtless everyone who visits the Capitol feels moved by the majesty of America's representative government, and the history of the United States. Image Size: 16.75 x 23 in. Overall Size: 19.75 x 25.5 in. Unframed. (B09457)
Ronald Maddox (British, B. 1930) "Windsor Castle in England" Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Great Britain 5 Windsor Castle stamp issued October 18, 1988. Windsor Castle -- located about twenty miles west of London on the River Thames -- is perhaps England's most famous castle, due primarily to the fact that it is the British royal family's chief residence, as well as a stopping point for many heads of state on official visits to Britain. Originally built around 1070 by William the Conqueror, the castle was a Norman motte and bailey with a timber stockade atop a dirt mound. The Round Tower and stone walls were added by Henry II a century later. The artwork depicts the Round Tower, viewed from across the River Thames. Since Henry II's additions, successive monarchs have remodeled and added to the castle. The decorations which adorn much of the interior are the result of George IV's massive redecorations in the 1820's. The Grand Reception Room and Waterloo Chamber are among the most lavish and magnificent rooms in the castle. Used for State receptions and other formal affairs, they -- like others of the State Apartments -- are open for public viewing during most of the year. In 1475, Edward IV began the construction of St. George's Chapel, one of the most magnificent of English churches. In this chapel are buried many monarchs, including Henry VIII, Charles I, and George VI. Today, Windsor Castle stands as an impressive and monumental reminder of the royal family's influence on British life throughout the centuries. In addition, it has remained a favorite residence among various monarchs, including Queen Victoria and the present Queen Elizabeth II. Image Size: 12 x 14 in. Overall Size: 19.5 x 20.75 in. Unframed.

John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "African Fish Eagle" Signed lower right. Original Oil on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 14c Official Mail Postal Card issued February 26, 1985. The grandeur of eagles has inspired men since the Stone Age when drawings of eagles first appeared in European caves. Indeed, the eagle is so respected that it is used as a symbol for everything from the seals of great nations to the human soul. And rightly so, for the eagle is the most majestic of all birds. Few if any other birds dare challenge this royal monarch of the skies, for while normally peaceful, the eagle is capable of defending his territory with frightful authority. Devoted parents, eagles carefully tend their young and share in the responsibilities for feeding and guarding the eaglets. The African Fish Eagle, depicted on this artwork, is one of the most striking of all eagles. Similar in appearance to the Bald Eagle, the Fish Eagle has a white head and breast but lacks the Bald Eagle's white tail. A native of the tropical regions of Africa, the African Fish Eagle is skilled at catching fish while skimming above the surface of rivers and lakes. Image Size: 14 x 12 in.
