  Archive of Documents Associated with the Sturges Family Including John R. Sturges 3rd GA Infantry KIA The lot contains a variety of items including over 100 receipts and other ephemera an early indenture and the will of John R. Sturges. Among the receipts are several for supplies for the Confederacy as well as other sales of local products. The earliest item is an indenture for land dated 26 Jan. 1838 purchased by Nathaniel Sturges from Thomas Owen. Nathaniel Sturges Sr. was the brother of Samuel Sturges the father of William and John Sturges. The senior Nathaniel came to the Waynesboro area about the same time as his brother although the exact date is unclear. However he died in 1826 but his son Nathaniel Jr. was born about 1816. Records list him as a merchant possibly with his cousin William who was a witness to this indenture. Unfortunately Nathaniel died of pneumonia on 25 Dec. 1841. Mourning Ribbon 2.5 x 8.5 in. In Memory of Alexander H. Stephens Governor of Georgia Citizen Augusta GA. with albumen image of Stephens affixed to circle in center of ribbon. Alexander Stephens was Vice President of the Confederate States of America 1861 ??" 1865 and Governor of Georgia 1882-1883. He also represented Georgia??Ts 8th district before (1843-1859) and after (1873-1882) the war. Receipt 7 x 9.75 in. for $50 to be paid to Daniel Carter To Services as nurse and for burial of three Small Pox Cases Waynesboro July 15th 1866. The court was ordered to pay the above account to W. U. Sturges who is authorized to act for it (William Urquhart Sturges). Services rendered 15 July 1866; statement dated 31 Aug. 1866. Receipt from The Ladies??T Southern Aid Association printed on back of a cdv (2.5 x 4 in.) of Jefferson Davis for $1 to aid the Davis family. This part of Georgia was still agriculturally productive and Waynesboro is just a few miles from Savannah the most important port in Georgia even though the port town fell early in the war and Federal troops occupied Fort Pulaski. Apparently a large quantity of goods was still sold to the Confederate Army in spite of the presence of Union troops nearby as receipts in the Sturges documents indicate. One receipt is from Thos. A. Rogers Agent Quarter Master at Waynesboro GA for 29 lbs bacon and a bushel of corn for Lieut. V. Fulcher Burke Co. 9 May 1865. And a second receipt from Rogers for 450 pounds of bacon tax in kind signed as Q.M. Agent May 1864. Receipt 2.75 x 6.75 in. $1000.00 due W U Sturgis in Conf. money Oct. 21 1864 ??" Nathl. Scales(?). 5 x 8 in. Received Burk County Ga of R J Morrison (2) Two Beeves on foot Estimated to weigh five 500 pounds net for the use of the Confederate Government [sic] for which I have given certificate of Indebtedness for impressments Commishener. Price the same having bin delivered under paragraph IV of General Orders No. 26 from A. & I Generals office ??" This delivery entitles said Morrison to a credit of 25+ per cent on above amount provided his exemption has bin applied for. April 1st 1864 Ged. Alexander Com. Agt. Receipt from Thos. Pierce to W. Sturgis Esq. Waynesboro 2 Sept 1864 for 471 bushels of corn. I owe you a balance of 9 ?? bushels which I will ship any day I can get the sacks. Please send me a receipt for the 470 lbs of Bacon. The lot contains more than 100 receipts and notes. One group contains 20 pre-war and war date receipts plus 16 loan receipts. There are also 30 post-war receipts many addressed to William Sturges as Clerk of the Superior Court of Burke County. In addition there are 6 promissory notes dated 1859 to 1862 and 16 tax receipts from the same period plus one each from 1876 and 1881. Two of the receipts in this group are from Wm. Holmes. This was a period when the Sturges family was building. John was home from college and starting his career. Another group of nearly 3 dozen receipts cover everything from shipping agricultural products primarily corn and cotton to the purchase of household goods such as hairbrushes and Venetian blinds. There is certainly more information to be gleaned from these tidbits by the historians of the war. One item also included in this group of receipts is from prospective builder E.C. Conner (?) dated 13 Feb. 1879: If you let me build that house I can save you at least five hundred less than the bids you git??|. There are also the odd recipes stuck in the papers ??" one for white wash one for pickling beef pork etc. Also included are a couple of receipts for labor at least one of which is for a Cold. Man. Both date during the war 1862 and 1863. It was common to rent out slaves for large projects even before the war but as the conflict progressed it became more and more difficult to feed and clothe them so any cash they could generate went to help in their support. And for the hiree it was certainly less expensive to rent the slaves than to buy them. One somewhat curious group is 8 receipts and 3 letters from the Cotton States Life Ins. Co. for a policy on William Sturges. They date from 1877 to 1882 and the signer is difficult to read but appears to be ?Wimberly.? By 1880 and presumably earlier the elder Sturges was institutionalized so this may be a legal representative. Another group of receipts gives a view other aspects of the community. There are three receipts for annual payments from the estate of Miles Roberts for the support of two minor children ??" 1861 1863 1864. It is not clear why William Sturges is administering the account other than possibly as an employee of the courts. Another note is a request for a pair of shoes for ?William ? although it is not clear whether this is one of the minor children or possibly another dependent of the court. 10 pp approx. 5.5 x 7.5 in. Letter from William R. Holmes to ?Cousin John? ??" (Is this John Sturges??) Castleville Camp Georgia 18 January 1862. Holmes tells John that they are planning to form a regiment from Burke County (and surrounding counties if necessary) when their current terms expire. He notes that he has been asked to be Colonel of the new regiment but would rather not be in charge of all of those men. He would however accept a Lieutenant Colonelcy and suggests Cousin John might make a good Colonel of the unit or Capt. Musgrave if John does not want it. He has the entire group mapped out ??" Herman Perry for adjutant etc. And he notes: Camp fellowship develops what men are as we know our family friends failings so we learn the faults of those we associate with in Camp. We have some noble fellows in our company unfortunately we have lost one noble fellow..[illeg.] Holmes as so many others during the war has his complaints about superior officers. He has a particular problem with Colonel Paul Jones Semmes. He notes that at one point he resigned his commission: The cause of it was Semmes not giving me permission to leave camp when I was sick as I desire to go to a house 1-1/2 miles from camp that I might take mercury which I needed since confined to my tent for three weeks & am just now able to do duty; We do not intend to enlist again before we return home as we are not willing to put ourselves in the power of the Infernal Tyrant that governs the Army of the Potomac. You can??Tt form any idea how very badly we have been treated & what we have had to go through. Col Semmes backed by Johnston & Smith is as damned a tyrant as ever lived. The Old Hell Cat & myself are at sword??Ts point now. I told him at Fairfax C.H. what I thought of his conduct & since then he & I just speak. I expect him to court martial me as I left without & against his orders Camp & went to Warrenton to get some cloths [sic] as I was naked & was determined not to die a natural death from disease but chose rather to be shot so let the old Cuss rip now he has a chance at me. Capt. William R. Holmes enlisted in Co. D 2nd Regt. GA Vol. Infy (Burke Sharpshooters). He was promoted to Lt. Col. 28 Apr. 1862. He was killed at Sharpsburg MD on 17 Sept. 1862 while trying to hold a bridge over the Antietam River against far superior numbers of Union troops while waiting for the main body of Confederate forces to reach it. There is a small group of receipts in this collection from John R. Sturges. There are two promissory notes two receipts for materials one from 1861 for laths presumably associated with the building of his house. A receipt for Jany. 1 1862 is interesting being the account of Col. John R. Sturges for Jan. to April 1861 from R.E.J. Thompson Dealer in Pure Drugs Medicines Oils Brushes Chemicals Perfumery Fancy and Toilet Articles &c. &c. in Waynesboro. The account is for 4 bottles of brandy matches and candles. And certainly the brandy was medicinal??| But John purchased nothing after April ??" the war was on. Three other receipts are interesting even though that they are after John??Ts death. Two are for Frank Barton and the third for Henry Moore. One of the Barton receipts notes that it is to money put in his hands for safe keeping while in Camp during the year 1862. And while the receipt for Henry Moore does not specify that this is the case it is implied that it might be something along these lines. The officers of these units often held pay for the enlisted men if asked to do so. One of the most significant items in the group is the will of John R. Sturges. It was made out in Virginia 17 June 1862. It is actually a fairly simple instrument but has some telling conditions. I John R. Sturges a citizen of the County of Burke State of Georgia now in the service of the Confederate States of America make this my last will and testament??|. I direct that my Executor sell at private or public sale ??| that tract of land lying in Burke county State of Georgia adjoining lands of John R. Whitehead John Scott Mrs. Martha Boyd and others being the tract on which John Owen late of said County of Burke lived and which was bought by me at his administrators sale in the fall of 1858 or 1859. If the proceeds of such sale exceed the principal and interest of the consideration money I paid for the said tract of land??| I direct one half of such excess to be paid to Mrs. Catharine M. Owen of Burke County aforesaid in pursuance of a promise I made to her shortly after the death of her husband John B. Owen that she should share the next profits of the sale of the land. All my property real or personal except the one half of the excess before mentioned I give and bequeath to my beloved brother William U. Sturges of the same County of Burke to have and hold forever. If my niece Mrs. Abby S. Jones wife of Henry H. Jones of Liberty County State of Georgia should wish to have any of my personal effects as a keepsake my Executor will permit her to have whatever she may select??|. Two weeks later he was dead. The question certainly comes up ??" why did he wait a year or more before making a will? Why now? The ?Burke boys? signed up in 1861. Much of the paper associated with the will relate to legal considerations in getting the will recognized in Georgia. But the concern for the Owen family is clear as is his recognition of the widow as deserving of a share in the profits from the land she was working. (Although it raises the obvious question ??" was he merely in favor of women??Ts rights or did he have other designs on this young widow? John Sturges never married.) Overall a varied group of items relating to the period just before the Civil War to the period after. One encounters the same individuals in these receipts and letters ??" the interwoven lives of those in a small close-knit community. Condition: Variable as expected particularly the little receipts and notes.

  Rufino Tamayo Mixed Media On Canvas Board Rufino Tamayo (New York/Mexico, 1899 - 1991) colorful mixed media abstract portrait on canvas board, signed to upper right "Tamayo 0-81". Unframed, measures 20" in height with width of 16". In overall good condition. Provenance: from the estate of a prominent Texas collector. Rufino Tamayo was a Mexican painter of Zapotec heritage, born in Oaxaca de Juarez, Mexico. Following the death of his parents, he moved to Mexico City to live with his aunt, where he later (1917) enrolled in the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas at San Carlos to study art. As a student, he experimented with & was influenced by Cubism, Impressionism, & Fauvism, but with a distinctly Mexican feel. He was later appointed the head designer of the department of ethnographic drawings at the National Museum of Archaeology in Mexico City. There he was surrounded by pre-Colombian objects, an aesthetic inspiration that would play a pivotal role in his life. In his own work, Tamayo integrated the forms and tones of pre-Columbian ceramics into his early still lives and portraits of Mexican men and women. In the early 1920s he also taught art classes in Mexico City's public schools. Despite his involvement in Mexican history, he did not subscribe to the idea of art as nationalistic propaganda. Modern Mexican art at that time was dominated by 'The Three Great Ones' : Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueros, but Tamayo began to be noted as someone 'new' and different' for his blending of the aesthetics of post Revolutionary Mexico with the vanguard artists of Europe and the United States. After the Mexican Revolution, he focused on creating his own identity in his work, expressing what he thought was the traditional Mexico, and refusing to follow the political trends of his contemporary artists. This caused some to see him as a 'traitor' to the political cause, and he felt it difficult to freely express himself in his art. As a result, he decided to leave Mexico in 1926 and move to New York, along with his friend, the composer Carlos Chavez. The first exhibition of Tamayo's work in the United States was held at the Weyhe Gallery, New York, in that same year. The show was successful, and Tamayo was praised for his 'authentic' status as a Mexican of 'indigenous heritage', and for his internationally appealing Modernist aesthetic. (Santa Barbara Museum of Art). Throughout the late thirties and early forties New York's Valentine Gallery gave him shows. For nine years, beginning in 1938, he taught at the Dalton School in New York. In 1929, some health problems led him to return to Mexico for treatment. While there he took a series of teaching jobs. During this period he became romantically involved with the artist Maria Izquierdo, with whom he lived and worked for several years. In 1933 he completed his first successful mural commission, a series of wall paintings for the Escuela Nacional de Musica (National School of Music). While working on this project, he met Olga Flores Rivas, a piano student at the school. Soon he separated from Izquierdo, and began a romance with Olga. The two were married in 1934. Although Olga was talented and had a budding performance career, she abandoned her musical pursuits to devote herself to promoting Tamayo's work. She was a lifelong muse to the artist, and over his seventy year career, he drew and painted many portraits of her. They moved to New York in 1937, and he began to exhibit his work internationally. From 1937 to 1949, Tamayo and Olga lived there, and he became widely recognized for his signature form of abstract figuration. Some of his most valuable works were created during that time. In 1943 Tamayo painted his first mural in the United States at the Hillyer Art Library at Smith College. Vogue magazine's 1946 issue referred to him as 'the best of young painters'. Look magazine also named him 'a fixed star in the New York art world'. (Santa Barbara Museum of Art) He was an elegant and media-savvy man, often photographed in his Upper East Side studio, with its wall of windows facing out onto Manhattan's fashionable townhouses. The 1940s were however not without problems for the couple. Olga suffered from health problems, leading to several miscarriages, and the marriage was strained. Tamayo dedicated his work to her by adding an extra 'O' to his signature. His fame was growing in Mexico. In 1948 his first major retrospective was held at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and while he was still controversial, his popularity was high. He enjoyed broad commercial and critical success, but remained uncomfortable with the political differences and controversy, and so Tamayo and Olga moved to Paris in 1949. There he was welcomed by the artists and intellectuals of Europe. The French government named him Chevalier and Officier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1956 and 1969, respectively, and he was the recipient of numerous other honors and awards. Tamayo was among the first Mexican artists to be included in the Venice Biennale. He remained in Paris for 10 years, after which the couple returned permanently to Mexico. His work was exhibited internationally in group and solo shows. Important Tamayo retrospectives took place at the São Paulo Bienal in 1977 and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1979. From 1933 to 1980, Tamayo painted 21 murals for an array of universities, libraries, museums, civic and corporate clients, hotels and an ocean liner. He was also an influential printmaker, and, in the latter part of his life embarked on the creation of sculpture. Tamayo eschewed the highly politicized themes explored within the works of his peers, and favored lyrical imagery and incorporated elements of Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism. Mexican folklore and his Indian origins provided a constant source of inspiration for him. Through his 70s and 80s he continued to be a prolific artist, teacher, and collector. Critics have extolled his bold and saturated use of color as his most significant contribution to Modern art. He was elected an honorary member of the American Academy and National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1961. Rufino and Olga Tamayo donated the Museum of Pre-Hispanic Mexican Art to their native State of Oaxaca in 1974. Their personal holdings of more than 1,000 pieces of ceramics and sculpture formed the cornerstone of the collection. The Rufino Tamayo Museum of International Contemporary Art opened in Mexico in 1981, and it displays many of the artist's works, as well as paintings, sculpture and drawings from his private collection. At the time, it was the first major museum not run by the Government. An interesting sidelight regarding Tamayo's work has to do with a theft. Tamayo's 1970 painting 'Tres Personajes' was bought by a Texan as a gift for his wife in 1977, then stolen from their storage locker during a move in 1987. In 2003, a woman, Elizabeth Gibson, found the painting in the trash on a New York City curb. She knew little about modern art, but felt the painting "had power" and took it without knowing its origin or market value. She spent four years trying to learn about the work, eventually learning it had been featured on an episode of Antiques Roadshow. Ultimately, Gibson and the former owner arranged to sell the painting at a Sotheby's auction. In November, 2007 Gibson received a $15,000 reward plus a portion of the $1,049,000 auction sales price. Tamayo painted his last painting in 1989, at the age of 90, 'Hombre Con Flor' (Man withFlower), a self-portrait. Rufino Tamayo died in 1991 at the age of 92 in Mexico City. Olga passed away two and a half years later.

  JOHN ZWARA, INDIANA/HUNGARY (1880-1951), SPRING MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE, CALIFORNIA 1944, GOUACHE ON PAPER, 15 1/4" X 19 1/4" (IMAGE), 23" X 27" (FRAME)John Zwara, Indiana/Hungary, (1880-1951) Spring Mountain Landscape, California 1944, gouache on paper Signed, titled and dated lower right. Excerpt from AskArt: Jan Zwara was born December 27, 1880, in Hungary and changed his name to John upon entry into the U.S. Zwara took advantage of a brother in Chicago who offered to set him up there with his own studio. The artist soon succumbed to wanderlust. In 1928 the "Omaha World-Herald" published an article, with help from Zwara's personal writings, the author traced the artist's route from Chicago and Pittsburgh to Cleveland and Wisconsin; from Ohio and Billings, Montana to Nevada and San Bernadino: from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Salt Lake City and then Denver. Zwara worked in mines, smelters, lumber camps, on the railroad and even digging ditches, all the while living in seedy hotels, hovels and even among the hoboes. While time on the job usually varied from several days to several months, he did spend six years on the construction of the Los Angeles aqueduct. While in Chicago he spent several weeks modeling; "For the ladies sculpture class," declared Zwara, with a twinkle in his eye. Arriving in Omaha sometime in 1922. In 1927 he entered four landscapes in the Sixth Annual Exhibition of Nebraska Artists where one of his paintings was the first to be sold. But then Zwara's constitution began to fail him. The hard lifestyle he had made for himself, the almost fanatical quest for the next sketch, his bad eating habits and eventually his personal hygiene began to change. As late as 1931 the artist maintained a residence in Omaha, but by the time of the artists' next "discovery" in Indiana, the people of Omaha would not have known him. By 1933, Zwara landed in Indianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis became his new home, and, while Zwara continued to take sketching trips, for the remainder of his life he returned there. He made numerous trips were made to Nashville, Indiana - the Brown County area - and as far as Knoxville, Tennessee and other areas are noted on works that have turned up at auction. In 1934, Zwara was befriended by Alex Vonnegut. Zwara's fall into schizophrenia, or dementia praecox, as it was initially labeled, was by then complete. He apparently lived by sleeping in the streets and subsisting on a diet of bread and coffee. In the spring of 1938 Vonnegut, in attempting to help Zwara with his problems, had him admitted to the Indiana Central State Hospital. Zwara stayed at that institution for six months, all the while producing numerous watercolor studies of the grounds. Then he just walked away - to return to the earlier life he knew. Of the artists' life in the 1940's, it is only known that he continued to sketch and paint. Somehow he was also able to arrange for his work to be exhibited at the yearly Hoosier Salon in 1943, 1944 and 1945. Toward the end of his life the artist was taken in by The Little Sisters of the Poor of Indianapolis. On May 4, 1951, Zwara died while in their care as a result of a heart attack. gouache on paper Dimensions: 15 1/4" x 19 1/4" (image), 23" x 27" (frame)

In 1934, Zwara was befriended by Alex Vonnegut. Zwara's fall into schizophrenia, or dementia praecox, as it was initially labeled, was by then complete. He apparently lived by sleeping in the streets and subsisting on a diet of bread and coffee. In the spring of 1938 Vonnegut, in attempting to help Zwara with his problems, had him admitted to the Indiana Central State Hospital. Zwara stayed at that institution for six months, all the while producing numerous watercolor studies of the grounds. Then he just walked away - to return to the earlier life he knew. Of the artists' life in the 1940's, it is only known that he continued to sketch and paint. Somehow he was also able to arrange for his work to be exhibited at the yearly Hoosier Salon in 1943, 1944 and 1945. Toward the end of his life the artist was taken in by The Little Sisters of the Poor of Indianapolis. On May 4, 1951, Zwara died while in their care as a result of a heart attack. oil on canvas Dimensions: 22 1/2"H x 30 1/2"W (image), 28 1/2"H x 36 1/4"W (frame)

Excerpt from AskArt: Jan Zwara was born December 27, 1880, in Hungary and changed his name to John upon entry into the U.S. Zwara took advantage of a brother in Chicago who offered to set him up there with his own studio. The artist soon succumbed to wanderlust. In 1928 the "Omaha World-Herald" published an article, with help from Zwara's personal writings, the author traced the artist's route from Chicago and Pittsburgh to Cleveland and Wisconsin; from Ohio and Billings, Montana to Nevada and San Bernadino: from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Salt Lake City and then Denver. Zwara worked in mines, smelters, lumber camps, on the railroad and even digging ditches, all the while living in seedy hotels, hovels and even among the hoboes. While time on the job usually varied from several days to several months, he did spend six years on the construction of the Los Angeles aqueduct. While in Chicago he spent several weeks modeling; "For the ladies sculpture class," declared Zwara, with a twinkle in his eye. Arriving in Omaha sometime in 1922. In 1927 he entered four landscapes in the Sixth Annual Exhibition of Nebraska Artists where one of his paintings was the first to be sold. But then Zwara's constitution began to fail him. The hard lifestyle he had made for himself, the almost fanatical quest for the next sketch, his bad eating habits and eventually his personal hygiene began to change. As late as 1931 the artist maintained a residence in Omaha, but by the time of the artists' next "discovery" in Indiana, the people of Omaha would not have known him. By 1933, Zwara landed in Indianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis became his new home, and, while Zwara continued to take sketching trips, for the remainder of his life he returned there.

  Charles Hook Armco Steel Company Lot of Manuscripts & Documents Lot includes letters photographs pamphlets mostly from the late 1930s through the 1960s. Born in 1880 the youngest of four children of Henry and Katherine (Klussman) Hook Charles Ruffin Hook grew up in Northwest Cincinnati on Colerain Avenue just across the Miami and Erie Canal from the foot of Clifton hill. The early years were happy and mostly carefree but Charlie??Ts mother died in 1892 when he was just 12. The Panic of 1893 followed and in a little over a year the family went from a middle-class lifestyle to poverty. The company in which Hook Senior was employed was wiped out he ended up selling the family home the family broke up and Charlie and his brother Gay moved to Walnut Hills living with a kindly engineer Robert Engle. This also required Charlie to change from District No. 18 school to Walnut Hills High the first suburban school. There was no question that Charlie would have to work after high school college was out of the financial equation. He began to look to the long-term examining options such as coal lumber and other basic commodities; chemistry was his best subject in school; but he ended up deciding that steel was the most promising area ??" Carnegie had been poor and had no technical training so it should be possible to Charlie Hook to get into the business. With a letter of introduction arranged by his brother he appeared at the offices of Cincinnati Rolling Mill in Riverside west of the city (the site visited in the photo in this lot). When told the only opening was that of office boy Charlie jumped on the opportunity. He moved up quickly in the office but that put him at odds with boys his age who worked in the plant. One day when the plant was closed because of the annual spring floods a group of ?plant boys? tried to give Charlie a ?dunking? as he entered the flatboat that was used to ferry the office staff to their building which was on stilts and out of the water. Sensing what was coming Charlie turned the tables and toppled his tormentor into the water. The boatswain was John ?Roxy? Draut the night watchman and one of the other gentlemen with whom Hook would tour the site half a century later (photos in this lot). Roxy protected the young office boy for the duration of the flood walking him to and from the streetcar stop. He would become a veteran of the Middletown ARMCO plant. Charlie made himself indispensable at the Riverside plant finding solutions to many problems in management and production. But the plant failed to be profitable enough for the owners and was closed in late 1899. Many of the employees were absorbed into other Tin Plate Trust plants including Charlie. His supervisors made sure he had a position elsewhere; they sensed that the young man would contribute to the company. Charlie was reassigned to Chicago leaving everything familiar in the ?Queen City? behind. After barely 2 months in the Windy City the Trust decided to move Charlie??Ts entire department to New York City. Outfitting two trains one for desks and files the other for personnel the department was ceremonially moved to the Big Apple. It was winter and the boy from the Midwest was becoming homesick amid tall buildings with barely a blade of grass to be found. He had been in touch with others from the Riverside plant in particular William P. Lewis who had been transferred to the Gas City plant in Indiana. He begged Lewis for a job hoping to get back to an environment in which grass and trees lived. Lewis had an opening in the sheet bar yard but Hook needed approval for the transfer. Charlie decided that if he really wanted to learn the business he needed training in production. He made his case up the chain of command in New York with most treating him as if he were ready to be committed but Warner Arms vice-president in charge of operations decided to give him a chance and allowed the transfer to Indiana. Hook had remained in touch with his first boss at Riverside who had made sure he was reassigned to a Trust plant but had lost touch with the president of the plant. However these two men had remained in touch with each other and when they teamed up with George M. Verity to start up the American Rolling Mill Co. in Middletown Ohio one of the first people both men thought of to recruit for the new enterprise was Charlie. It was a fateful interview. Verity and Hook liked each other at once and had very similar philosophies about the business. Verity believed in people and tried to run his business by the ?Golden Rule ? a striking (even shocking) departure from the typical steel mill of the day. On top of that Verity decided to build a combined mill which used pig iron to produce ingots and slabs which were made into shapes and bars which were made into sheets and then galvanized or fabricated - what had been the domain of 5 different mills now would be done more efficiently (so Verity thought) in one mill. The rest of the industry was sure it would fail. But Verity surrounded himself with capable men like Hook who continued to take every opportunity to learn as much about the steel industry as he could ??" what worked and what didn??Tt in plants around the country. And eventually Hook and John Tytus developed a continuous mill and revolutionized the steel industry. To compete with the giants such as U.S. Steel Armco focused on specialty steels which required continual research. It became the first steel company to include a research department. It was the production of corrugated culvert pipe that generated interest overseas in railroad construction and ultimately led to Armco becoming an international company. ARMCO grew and prospered and Hook with it. By 1910 he became general superintendent. In 1913 he made his final ?life-path? move ??" he married Verity??Ts daughter Leah. More than a decade his junior Leah was still a schoolgirl when Hook came to Middletown and looked upon him as ?Uncle Charlie.? But as she matured she and ?Uncle Charlie? found they had many interests in common. Charlie continued to make connections even on the couple??Ts honeymoon in Europe most notably to George Lorimer editor of the Saturday Evening Post. The couple had two sons and a daughter. The images in the photo book appear to be primarily the first-born Charles Jr. although a few show both boys just a couple years apart in age. Armco??Ts labor policies also served the company well. By letting the employees know that they were part of the company and providing them with the best equipment and working conditions technology allowed the company prospered. In a 1937 article on Armco Forbes pointed out that in the second quarter of that year alone the good relations with labor and the fact that they did not strike probably saved the company 5 million (compared to a similar-sized company that had picketing and rioting in its plant). Any problems any new changes were always discussed with employees. Any employee could make an appointment with Verity or Hook or other management official and express his viewpoint air problems etc. without patronizing or judgment. Armco also saw itself as a good neighbor in Middletown and later wherever there were Armco plants. Verity and Hook tried to make life better for all city residents ??" everything from supporting scouting to expanding the American Legion for veterans during the Second World War to creating organizations for naturalizing citizens. Even those who did not interact often with the top management knew of them and their works. After George Verity died in 1942 employees of the plant a year later suggested a day of service to remember his neighborly actions and Founder??Ts Day was born. The first Founder??Ts Day saw 30 beds being donated to the Children??Ts Fresh Air Camp and a family that had been burned out of their home had a cash gift to begin rebuilding. A later Founder??Ts Day in Australia had a lift designed and built by Armco engineers for getting spastic children in and out of beds and baths. A couple of Founder??Ts Day programs are included in this lot along with Verity??Ts memorial and program from the dedication of his statue. Several brochures relating to the history of Middletown are certainly also related to the sense of community in the Armco ranks. As Hook??Ts methods of labor relations proved viable and the depression struck Charlie was looked at more and more for national offices. The National Association of Manufacturers tried to get him into their top position in 1934 but Verity could not spare him in the depths of the depression. Four years later he did serve as President of NAM. He became an industry spokesman in Washington and served on a number of committees there. He was also increasingly in demand as a speaker and one of his typescripts for a luncheon speech is in this lot. We need more Charlie Hooks today. Over decades he ?preached? that in the American incentive system the individual is of primary importance. ?If industry is to have its story accepted by the public it must expose abuses in the ranks and condemn improper business practices as quickly as it opposes legislation which it considers obstructive to business progress. It must show unimpeachable good faith. The place to begin is at the grassroots. The way to win confidence in and respect for all industry is for each company to be a good honorable desirable citizen at home.? We seem to have forgotten these old principles in a new century. Hook and others were convinced that they would need to convert to war production sooner than later. He met with some of his Washington friends and realized that the plans were nearly a decade and a half old and most companies had grown and changed considerably. Hook was front and center in redrafting the plans to convert industry to defense a plan decisive in the production records set by industry a mere three years later. Armco??Ts war-time production is outlined in one of the brochures in this lot. As President of NAM he worked toward collaboration of government and industry. He went to England to study labor relations then went to Sweden for the same purpose. As he was leaving the office he set out a 5-point policy for industrial and national welfare that included collaboration of government and industry to raise the standard of living elimination of government competition with the private sector rebuilding tax structures national labor policy based on common sense and fairness (to both labor and management) and a ?square deal? (not a new deal) for business for them to create nine million new jobs. (Anything sound familiar here?) Within a few months however unemployment was zero. On December 14 1941 Charlie Hook had other appointments notably to the War Labor Board made up of 12 members of industry and 12 of labor. Business leaders included presidents/chairmen of SKF Bell Aircraft U.S. Rubber Ingersoll Milling Machine Studebaker American Type Founders American Hawaiian Steamship Champion Paper GE ??" critical industries in a wartime economy. Shortly after he was sent to England to see if steel production could be increased and decide which country could best make what war material. After many days of work Hook was ready to report back to President Roosevelt. As he was boarding the plane at Herndon he was introduced to an American General who was escorting his British counterpart to the same transport. That General turned out to be Dwight Eisenhower. Hook would cross paths with Eisenhower again in Britain during the war. So respected were Hook??Ts processes and opinions that immediately after the war as the U.S. military was going into peacetime mode (they thought) President Truman called on Hook to study and recommend changes in pay of armed services. After the war Hook was involved in many ventures including Junior Achievement. He also promoted some college programs always with the goal of ?selling the basic concepts of the American way of life? - to youth to the public to foreigners to anyone who would listen. One person who got wind of Hook??Ts program was Dwight Eisenhower then president of Columbia University. Hook was invited to Columbia where he spent half a day laying out his program for the president and forming a lifelong friendship. Many years of government service is reflected in the letters from Ike and Nixon although earlier communications (such as FDR and Truman) are not among this particular group of papers. In 1950 Armco celebrated its half-century anniversary. The company put on a party at all of its plants. In Middletown alone the assembled well-wishers consumed 382 000 hot dogs and similar amounts of other comestibles. Just a year before Middletown celebrated Charles R. Hook Day with a testimonial dinner in Middletown??Ts Hotel Manchester attended by Generals an Admiral and a thousand others. A copy of the souvenir of this event is included here. Charlie was given two bound volumes with the originals of these letters telegrams and other well-wishes of his friends and associates. Charlie continued to talk to anyone who would listen over the next decade and had his chance at numerous award ceremonies. Although he never went to college he did take a few correspondence courses in engineering but learned most of the industry by rolling up his sleeves in the mills and talking to those who knew. He was awarded the medal for the advancement of metallurgical research in 1947 the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal in 1950 and eleven honorary degrees by colleges and universities. Hook retired in December 1960 at the age of 80 but continued doing whatever he could to promote industry and the American ideal. He still went to his office every day as his physical condition allowed. He died in 1963 at 83 years of age. Lot includes: Numerous letters over a period of a couple decades to the White House and Department of Labor. Some have autopen or secretarial signatures but at least one Nixon letter may be authentic (or a new autopen pattern!) but 3 others have identical ?Dick? signatures and are likely autopen (they match one known autopen ?Dick Nixon?). A fourth letter signed ?Dick? with a slight difference may be authentic. There are many Eisenhower letters all initialed ?D.E.? There are 8 with slightly different initials some of which may be authentic. One without periods after the initials may be proxy/secretarial ??" we think he usually put periods after initials when he wrote them. All are on either light green White House letterhead or Ike??Ts personal DDE letterhead paper. Many more items in this folder are copies of what Hook sent to the various presidents including his copies of telegrams sent to Eisenhower. Folder labeled ?White House ??" President? with photographs (15) of Presidents Ronald and Nancy Reagan 4 living presidents (2) (Reagan Nixon Bush (41) and Ford) plus another with same four and their wives Bill and Hillary Clinton Republican leaders (Bob Dole Newt Gingrich Jack Kemp) some individual some in groups. Also a few ?certificates? or ?awards.? All seem to be rewards for donations and other support to the party. All signatures are in the photo. In addition there is a banner that is still in its packaging. One can see ?Republican President? in gold letters and one grommet but what the rest says is not certain (that label has been torn off the box ??" it probably had the address on it). Miscellaneous papers including an address given by Hook at a luncheon of the Union League Club Chicago 17 May 1940 entitled ?Wake Up America and Save the Private Enterprise System ? and a number of pages removed from a 3-ring binder most are photographs of maps and buildings in Middletown.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands PresentationPak for the 1996 Space Shuttle Discovery $10 Commemorative Coin. . . The mission assigned to space shuttle Discovery on its first flight was one of the most demanding faced by any early shuttle. Commander Henry Hartsfield Jr. , pilot Michael Coats and mission specialists Judith Resnik, Steven Hawley, Richard Mullane and Charles Walker were to deploy three separate satellites during their six-day mission. The satellites were the Satellite Business System SBS-D, the LEASAT 2 and TELSTAR. This mission was also designated to test the Office of Application and Space Technology solar wing that extended from the payload bay and carried various types of solar cells. The solar wing experiment gathered data concerning solar arrays to be used in building future large facilities such as a projected space station. Although Discovery's first launch had been delayed three times due to technical problems, once aloft it performed to the highest expectations. . . Image Size: 16. 5 x 14 in. .

  Shannon Stirnweis (B. 1931) "Mountain Man": Shannon Stirnweis (B. 1931) "Mountain Man Rendezvous" Signed lower right. Original Oil on Illustration Board painting. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting appeared in the Fleetwood Trails West Collection of Fine Art Prints as "Mountain Man Rendezvous" published in 1983. . . Of all the pioneers who helped open the West for peaceful settlement, the famed "mountain men" bear a special place of honor in history. Like the hunters, traders, scouts and Indian fighters, they blazed their mark on the vast frontier . but these hardy adventurers did even more. For it was the mountaineers who struggled to find usable paths through the vast, rugged expanses of the Rockies and the Sierras, and adjoining lands . who discovered and explored the rich, green valleys and watering places of the forbidding western wilderness . who, by doing so, made the West accessible to the thousands of settlers who followed. The hardy mountain men crisscrossed the West, scouring the entire countryside for bears, otters, and -- above all-- the beaver, which was larger and fatter, and had thicker fur than any other fur-bearing animal they had seen previously. With the founding of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company by William Ashley and Andrew Henry in 1822 came a revolutionary approach to the problem of collecting the furs trapped by these mountain men. Ashley, instead of scattering fur trading posts over the entire West, established an annual "Rendezvous" where hundreds of trappers could flock together to drink whiskey, run races, socialize and, of course, exchange their valuable beaver pelts for money and goods. . .

  Basil Smith (B. 1925) 1880s Police Patrol Wagon: Basil Smith (British, B. 1925). "1880s Police Patrol Wagon" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Hot Press Illustration Board. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This paintingis the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the U. S. 13c Patrol Wagon 1880s stamp issued October 29, 1988. . . By the mid 1800's, many American cities were experiencing rapid population growth accompanied by increased crime rates. Through the early 1800's, most police forces were hard pressed to provide even the appearance of protecting the public. Fortunately, reforms took hold in the shape of merit systems to replace the rampant political patronage then in vogue, recruitment of honest men of high caliber to serve as commissioners, and the evolution of better equipment. Police officers had up to this point been grossly ill-equipped. At last, the tools necessary to do their jobs became available to these men. One such tool was the police patrol wagon, the late 19th century innovation shown in this artwork. It was used to efficiently and economically transport officers to and from their regular beats, as well as to public disturbances and other problem areas. In some parts of the country, the patrol wagon evolved into a vehicle also used to move prisoners, precipitating the addition of security features.

  John Swatsley (B. 1937) "1890s Railway Mail Train": John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "1890s Railway Mail Train" Signed lower right. Original Oil on Illustration Board painting. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U. S. (25c) E Earth Rate coil booklet stamp issued March 22, 1988. . . The steam engine brought many changes to the country, offering sturdy, reliable transportation, often over a vast wilderness. Communication from the frontier had always been a problem, and now, the railroads came to solve it. Chugging onward, the "Iron Horse" quickly proved its worth to even the most skeptical of its detractors. In 1864, the Railway Mail Service was instituted to provide fast local service, and trains with specially designed Postal Cars were quickly attached to rugged engines. Agents sorted as the trains rolled on, and then, by hand, they transferred mail sacks as the trains slowed at designated pick-up spots. Later, special cranes were utilized to facilitate better coordinated mail swaps, and by 1875, the system had spread into even wider use. On into the 20th century, Mail Trains delivered mail over some 586 million miles per year. Today, instead of crossing continents, the mail must span a globe, and in ever-faster time. . .

  David K. Stone (1922 - 2001) Trading in Santa Fe: David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Trading in Santa Fe" Signed lower right. 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 "Trading in Santa Fe" published in 1983. . . Founded in 1609, Santa Fe served as a northern outpost of New Spain for more than two centuries. It remained isolated from the United States until 1821, when a handful of merchants moving westward forged the Santa Fe Trail. Sharing unknown risks, these few courageous men loaded their merchandise on pack animals and successfully completed the trip to Santa Fe in four months. After selling their merchandise at a handsome profit, they quickly returned home to prepare for a return trip. Encouraged by the reports of success, more merchants headed west to Santa Fe to profit from the newly discovered trade center. In Sante Fe, the cargoes of textiles, lead, hardware, cutlery, glassware and many other items were traded for silver, mules, pelts and hides, blankets and other items that were in demand in the East. This "commerce of the prairies" thrived in spite of the hostile Indian tribes of the Southwest, burdensome duties, wagon tolls and official graft, in addition to the normal problems of trade. Indeed, from 1822 a Santa Fe trade existed that changed the history of the Southwest. Trappers and fur traders now worked out of Santa Fe to gain access to the southern Rockies -- rich in beaver and other wildlife. These mountain men, too, became an integral part of the trading business in Santa Fe. . . Overall Size: 18 x 21 in. . Unframed. .

  Ben E. Green Politician & Colonel Unpublished Handwritten Memoirs & Related Ephemera 406pp manuscript; 2 pamphlets. Ca 1900. It never ceases to amaze how so many arguments for the causes of the Civil come together combine and recombine in so many ways. No one better illustrates the variations on the theme than the diplomat Col. Ben E. Green (1822-1907). Born in Elkton Ky. the son of the renowned politician editor and Friend of Lincoln Duff Green Green graduated from Georgetown 1838 and after studying law at the University of Virginia began practice in New Orleans. With his family connections he earned an appointment to the legation in Mexico City in 1843 and acted as charge d??Taffaires there until 1845 and was sent by Pres. Zachary Taylor as a secret agent to West Indies in 1849 where he secretly investigated the purchase of Cuba and establishment of naval station in Santo Domingo. The heart of this interesting collection is a manuscript intended for publication entitled The Reminiscences of Ben E. Green in which Green roams over the swath of American history that he had witnessed during his long life from his diplomatic mission to Mexico on the verge of the Mexican American War to his ideas on Daniel Webster and other statesmen in the Senate his secret mission to the West Indies in 1849-1850 the Civil War and other political affairs. Throughout he is candid though highly partisan and blinkered by his own perspective. Writing while the Spanish American War was in swing he recalled his time there fifty years before: I found the Cubans very cautious until assured that they could speak without risk of betrayal. Then they become eloquent in denunciation of Spanish misrule. Every one I talked with desired annexation to the United States and said that it was the desire of all Cubans. But in the cities they had neither arms nor organization nor opportunity to organize. There the spy system and repressive police were such that friends meeting on the streets ran the risk of being cast into prison incommunicados if they stopped to chat with each other. In the country the conditions were more favorable for concert of action. What the country Cubans have since accomplished with machetes as their only weapons is marvelous. More fascinating still is his discussion of race and the war between Haiti and the Dominican Republic in which he claims that the black Dominican populace expressed their loyalty to the Spanish whites of the east and [their] abhorrence of the French blacks of the west end of the island. How long this would last: when and how soon the Spanish blacks would again coalesce with the French blacks for the extermination of the whites & mixed bloods no one could foretell. Green returned to the US with a plan to encourage white immigration to the Dominican promising freedom of religion land grants and freedom from taxes and military service all as a means of preventing the country??Ts domination by the Black barbarity of Haiti. Green??Ts section on the Civil War is perhaps the most important and most curious from a modern perspective. The war he insists is a peculiar phase of the Capital and Labor problem. In an interesting rhetorical dance he attempts simultaneously to remove all blame for the Civil War from the South dismiss any claims against slavery and blame all evils on a cabal of Northern Capitalists all while rescuing Lincoln a close friend of Green??Ts father. To do so Green writes that Lincoln was merely a political newcomer when he became President and did not know how to prevent the zeal of devious northern capitalists who were committed to a new political economy which declared that ?Free labor is cheaper than slave labor.? Northerners were never for equality -- too many wrote that they did not want free blacks in American territory -- nor does he allow that the war was a war for union -- there were northerners who sought disunion from a slaveholding south. Seward his particular bogeyman had once worked as a teacher in Georgia but learned more than he taught: It did not take long for one of his quick mind to discover that there in the South the wages of Labor went into the pockets of capital while the cost of the Laborer??Ts living came out o the pockets of capital. At the north this was reversed. There wages came out of the pockets of capital and a profit on the cost of living went into the pockets of capital because wages were paid as a general rule by orders on stores owned by capital and the higher cost of living the greater the profit. Claiming that the south had no idea that secession would lead to armed conflict he writes: Under a policy of conciliation without any attempt or threat of coercion carried out in good faith which Lincoln desired and would have adopted had he been permitted ten days would have sufficed to convince the large non-slave holding majority that it was not his purpose to force negro equality on them. Convinced of that they would have been ready to nullify the ordinance of secession which they had forced upon the unwilling slaveholders. He adds somewhat disingenuously Of course the formal acts -- (elections and conventions) -- would have required more time. But that delay would have been preferable to fratricidal war and its lamentable results. Green??Ts insists that the war was a conspiracy by Capital against Labor with Capital asserting that slavery was too costly as a system of labor that modern commerce demanded the cheapest labor and that the wages of a free white man should be less than the cost of feeding clothing & housing a slave. It was not moral to require one man to provide for the wants of other men or women in the infirmities of age he wrote because one has money and they none and that it was morally wrong to make capital suffer for the improvidence or misfortunes of Labor they concluded that it was morally wrong to allow Labor any claim on Capital at all. Green insisted that most people who voted Republican in 1860 had no idea of the hidden claims of the Black Republicans But this was the morality of the great politico-economical leaders ?in whose minds the design was centered.? Accused them also of encouraging the Coolie trade (i.e. Chinese immigration) even while claiming to oppose it. Throughout Green insists that Lincoln was not of the same stripe of his cabinet that he was not a Black Republican and Capital man but was duped or misled at various points or was outmaneuvered by rivals within his own cabinet. The collection also includes genealogical notes on Duff Green and family and two pamphlets by Green Shakespeare and Goethe on Gresham??Ts Law and the Single Gold Standard (Dalton Ga. 1900) and An Insight Into the Dalton Real Estate Pool (Dalton Ga.? ca.1876). The Shakespeare and Goethe pamphlet includes a publisher??Ts advertisement on the back wrapper stating Soon to be issued: Reminiscences by Ben. E. Green. The work appears not to have appeared perhaps scuttled by Green??Ts death. A significant historical memoir reflecting a singular character in American diplomacy. Although somewhat brittle with minor chipping at edges and age toning the manuscript can be handled and read with ease.

  Mel Crawford (B. 1925) "Car Dealer": Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Car Dealer" Signed lower center. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . America's economic system has long been accustomed to the competitive pressures that call for greater business effectiveness, and to internal company pressures that call for greater business efficiency. Only recently, however, have our producers of consumer items experienced the intensity of external pressures that call for greater business responsiveness to the consumer. Indeed, consumer education has made its mark on business. Consumer education, although not of recent origin, has grown substantially in magnitude and impact in the past decade due to an emergence of numerous federally legislated and private consumer awareness groups. In general, a number of government bureaus aid consumers in making prudent and economical purchases, stimulate interest in the problems of consumers, and give information concerning the use and care of consumers' goods. In addition to federally initiated consumer education, various private consumer organizations promote consumer education by testing and rating merchandise, preparing and distributing materials to be used in consumer education programs, lending support and lobbying for legislation favorable to the consumer, providing films that deal with consumer education, and directly advising consumers what items to buy. . .

  Gregory Rudd (B. 1952) "Paul Bunyan": Gregory Rudd (American, B. 1952) "Paul Bunyan" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Cold Press Illustration Board. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the 32c Paul Bunyan stamp issued July 11, 1996. . . Tales of this folk hero may have originated among the French-Canadian loggers of Quebec or northern Ontario who brought the stories of Paul Bunyan with them from their native lands. It is also possible that the legend began in the United States, in Michigan or Wisconsin, and traveled westward with the logging industry. Stories of Paul Bunyan were told by veteran lumberjacks to entertain each other and to keep young newcomers in their place. When a "green" lumberjack boasted of his exploits, the old hands told how Paul Bunyan overcame a greater, more difficult challenge. The legend of Paul Bunyan centers around a mythical hero, a giant lumberjack, who solves problems using extraordinary cleverness and skill. Paul is never at a loss to handle any situation and no job is ever too difficult for him and his Big Blue Ox, Babe. According to legend, Paul Bunyan was born in Maine. As an infant, he rolled around so much in his sleep that he destroyed four square miles of standing timber. He eventually moved west and roamed throughout the woodlands of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Along the way he acquired Babe, his Big Blue Ox. Babe was so big that every time they shod him, a new iron mine had to be opened on Lake Superior. Paul didn't need a gun to hunt timber wolves. He would grab them by the ears and holler down their throats. The wolves died of fright and Paul would tie their ears in a bow knot, stringing the carcasses over his fingers to carry them back to camp. . . Image Size: 13. 75 x 11. 75 in. .

  XIANG, QIN HUA (Chongqing 1976) Untitled. Oil on canvas. 2007. signed. 200 x 146 cm. The mysterious atmosphere, unusual make-believe scenarios, vacant and stubborn expression - these elements characterize our first impression of Xiang Qinghua's works. Everything is so fascinating. Special feelings towards childhood are nothing more than growing up, being tortured, a fantasy to torture, and subsequent craving for sex. Qinghua has replayed those dream scenes through his works, which are friendly and familiar, making us feel that we are actually there. In those overlapping images, we seem transported to our childhood, an unrepeatable age, which is not something we used to have but in daydream; which we have not experienced but have to say good-bye. All has happened and passed without leaving any trace. We therefore can read from Xiang Qinghua's works those memorable stories which make us lost for words. Living in an environment highlighting rule observation but poetic sentiment. I was finally awakened to the boredom and prudery of life. Being discontent with the current situation, I am inclined to depict imaginations about childhood in my work. I am telling stories with a sense of fun, while trying to impart a slight sense of tension and danger in the quiet painting and create a super-realistic dreamland. I hope to release this calmness in a peaceful way. I definitely try to express in a language built on a public platform. In order to let more people know and understand this language, I have been sticking to many traditional painting principles. Sometimes even a small problem on certain style or colour may make me unable to continue. The reality can't always be perfect, that is why we complain a lot, we always remember the past or look into the future, we always have hopes, and I always paint. ---Xiang Qinghua

  JOHN ZWARA, INDIANA/HUNGARY (1880-1951), LATE EVENING ON THE (WHITE) RIVER, GOUACHE ON PAPER, 6 1/2"H X 7 1/2"W (IMAGE), 13"H X 14"W (FRAME)John Zwara, Indiana/Hungary, (1880-1951) Late Evening on the (White) River, gouache on paper Signed lower left. Signed and titled on paper overlay. Excerpt from AskArt: Jan Zwara was born December 27, 1880, in Hungary and changed his name to John upon entry into the U.S. Zwara took advantage of a brother in Chicago who offered to set him up there with his own studio. The artist soon succumbed to wanderlust. In 1928 the "Omaha World-Herald" published an article, with help from Zwara's personal writings, the author traced the artist's route from Chicago and Pittsburgh to Cleveland and Wisconsin; from Ohio and Billings, Montana to Nevada and San Bernadino: from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Salt Lake City and then Denver. Zwara worked in mines, smelters, lumber camps, on the railroad and even digging ditches, all the while living in seedy hotels, hovels and even among the hoboes. While time on the job usually varied from several days to several months, he did spend six years on the construction of the Los Angeles aqueduct. While in Chicago he spent several weeks modeling; "For the ladies sculpture class," declared Zwara, with a twinkle in his eye. Arriving in Omaha sometime in 1922. In 1927 he entered four landscapes in the Sixth Annual Exhibition of Nebraska Artists where one of his paintings was the first to be sold. But then Zwara's constitution began to fail him. The hard lifestyle he had made for himself, the almost fanatical quest for the next sketch, his bad eating habits and eventually his personal hygiene began to change. As late as 1931 the artist maintained a residence in Omaha, but by the time of the artists' next "discovery" in Indiana, the people of Omaha would not have known him. By 1933, Zwara landed in Indianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis became his new home, and, while Zwara continued to take sketching trips, for the remainder of his life he returned there. He made numerous trips were made to Nashville, Indiana - the Brown County area - and as far as Knoxville, Tennessee and other areas are noted on works that have turned up at auction. In 1934, Zwara was befriended by Alex Vonnegut. Zwara's fall into schizophrenia, or dementia praecox, as it was initially labeled, was by then complete. He apparently lived by sleeping in the streets and subsisting on a diet of bread and coffee. In the spring of 1938 Vonnegut, in attempting to help Zwara with his problems, had him admitted to the Indiana Central State Hospital. Zwara stayed at that institution for six months, all the while producing numerous watercolor studies of the grounds. Then he just walked away - to return to the earlier life he knew. Of the artists' life in the 1940's, it is only known that he continued to sketch and paint.

  JOHNSON, Samuel (1709-1784).Autograph letter signed "Sam: Johnson" to Hester Lynch Thrale. London: 18 April 1780. 3pp., folded sheet with final page blank (255 x 195 mm). One paragraph crossed out, but still readable. Later pencil notation on the first page giving the Piozzi Letters citation. Housed in a red cloth folding case. Condition: usual folds. Provenance: A. Edward Newton (bookplate on the folding case) sale, Parke-Bernet 15 May, lot 401; Roger Hawes West (bookplate on the folding case).This charming letter begins with answers to Piozzi's questions regarding the publication of a political pamphlet and a work about Shakespeare (suggested by Hill to be Malone's Supplement to the Johnson and Steevens edition of the plays). "Of the petticoat government I had never heard. Of the Shakespeare, I was once told by Miss Lawrence; and that is all that I know of it. I have not seen nor heard of any body that has seen the wonders. You may be sure I should tell you any thing that would gratify your curiosity…" The letter next turns to the ill health of Henry Thrale. "I cannot see but my master may with stubborn regularity totally recover. But surely, though the invasion has been repelled from life, the waste it has made will require some time and much attention to repair it. You must not grow weary of watching him…"The letter continues with Johnson playfully chastising Piozzi for new poetry about which he was unaware (identified by Redford as her "The Three Warnings"). "Pray, of what wonders do you tell me. You make verses and they are read in publick, and I know nothing about them. This very crime, I think, broke the link of amity between [Samuel] Richardson and Miss Mulso [Hester Mulso Chapone], after a tenderness and confidence of many years. However you must do a great deal more before I leave you for Lucan or Montague, or any other charmer, if any other charmer would have me."The letter continues concerning Mrs. Walmesley, an anti-corruption bill before Parliament, the Thrale debts to Charles Scrase and Sophia Byron's problems. It closes discussing his own health and a return to the health of Henry Thrale. "Please tell Mr. Thrale, that I think I grow rather less, and that I was last week almost dizzy with vacuity. I repeat my challenge to alternate diet, and doubt not but both of us by adhering to it may live more at ease, and a much longer time. Though I am going to dine with Lady Craven…"Published in Letters (Hyde edition) III: p. 239.

  WINCHELL, WALTER. 1897-1972.
  ARCHIVE OF CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO HIS 1960 INTERVIEW OF RICHARD NIXON.
  This lot features a collection of correspondence, documents, telegrams, and newspaper clippings relating to gossip columnist Walter Winchell. Winchell made his name in the 1920s and 1930s as the first journalist to report regularly on the lives of celebrities—and continued throughout his career to blur the line between hard news and soft. Winchell starred on a popular radio show during the thirties and forties and made the transition to television in 1956. He left ABC in a dispute, but was wooed back in 1960 for another Sunday night news commentary program, which debuted on October 2, 1960. Winchell wanted his old pal J. Edgar Hoover as his first guest, but had to settle for Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon. The following week, Kennedy was scheduled to appear, but bowed out at the last moment as was replaced by a Democratic party official. Winchell’s show was not a blockbuster, but ABC still believed ratings could be improved. Just a few weeks in, however, Winchell notified the network that lingering health problems, including a staph infection in his gums, would prevent him from returning.
  This lot features a signed copy of Winchell’s 1960 ABC contract; transcripts of the October 2 and October 9 shows; inter-network correspondence regarding the show’s development, ratings, and Winchell’s health; letters from fellow journalists suggesting questions for both Kennedy and Nixon; and more. A second file contains clippings and correspondence relating to the "Confucious Say..." phenomenon sparked by Winchell’s newspaper column in the 1940s.

  ARCADIA IN SUSSEX - the Journal of Robins Cottage (West Sussex), 1929-1959. Dr. Geoffrey Bourne purchased the property (an ' Attractive Week-End Cottage ', situated midway between Midhurst and Liphook) at the Iping Estate Sale of 1919; the ms. 'Iping Journal' in 2 folio vols. of approx. 350pp., & written in at least two hands - possibly by family members who lived there permanently. A most amusing, not to say at times hilarious account of country life - natural history, much on the house with garden & plants, sporting - hunt meets, golf & polo at Cowdray, racing at Fontwell & Goodwood, fly fishing (with visits to the Itchen),walking, motoring & picnics; local affairs & history,with classic description of a country auction - ' the auctioneer sat on a table upon a chair and engaged the audience in a familiar manner, well seasoned with second-hand jests and quips. Two ladies sat one at each end of a Chesterfield, and bid against each other for it like wild cats . . . ' Sheltered inland away from the coast wartime was, as might be expected, reasonably quiet - ' the war has forgotten Robins fortunately . . . '; but signposts were removed & milestones 'turned round'; convoys etc. mentioned; railway problems (being used for troop transporting); barrage balloons over the Downs; details of aircraft seen. Surely equalling at times 'The Darling Buds of May' & perhaps surpassing Eric Bligh's 'Two Half Moons' (set near Midhurst), this journal is a delight. Illustrated

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the Republic of the Marshall Islands 29c Battle of the Java Sea 1942 stamp issued February 27, 1992. . . After a triumphant sweep through Malaya and Burma, the Japanese imperial war machine turned its sights toward Java, a Dutch East Indies island rich in manganese and oil. On February 27, 1942, a massive Japanese task force engaged the Allied Combined Striking Force commanded by Dutch Admiral Kar Koorman. Hampered by language and communication problems, the hastily-organized Allied effort lacked air support -- a fatal error. Doorman and his flagship were lost almost immediately. The rest of the strike force struggled to withstand the Japanese juggernaut, but the battle was over in two days. The enemy destroyed all but five of the 15 Allied warships, securing for Japan a resounding victory and another island stepping stone toward Australia. . . Image Size: 13. 25 x 16. 5 in. .

  Brian Sanders (B. 1937) "Lord Arthur Tedder" W/C: Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Lord Arthur William Tedder and the Hawker Typhoon" Original Watercolor painting. . . 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 Great Britain 22p Lord Tedder/Typhoon stamp issued September 16, 1986. . . Considered by Allied leaders as the world's most skilled officer in the use of the airplane as a tactical weapon, Lord Arthur William Tedder helped bring the Axis Powers to their knees in World War II. At the start of the war, Tedder was appointed Deputy Air Officer Commander-in-Chief for the Middle East. In 1941, he became full air officer of the Middle East Command, which covered the area from Malta to the Persian Gulf and extended south all the way to Madagascar. In this post, Tedder mercilessly bombed the Axis warships in the Mediterranean as well as Axis-held cities. In 1942, he aided Malta and later that same year, used the RAF as a front-line artillery against Axis forces operating out of Libya. Without question Lord Tedder's leadership helped defeat the Axis in Italy, Sicily and North Africa. So impressed was General Eisenhower with Lord Tedder's performance that he made him his deputy when he organized his top team for the invasion of Europe. One of the aircraft which is forever linked with the name Arthur W. Tedder is the Hawker Typhoon which was developed as the successor to the Hurricane and was planned from the start to carry twelve guns. Although it had problems in development, the Typhoon was nevertheless the fastest Allied fighter at low level in 1941. The aircraft proved ideal for the "cab rank" fighting technique in which standing patrols of Typhoons could be called down by ground forces to strike any target that lay in the path of Allied troops. . .

  Ed Vebell (1921 - 2018) Signing Mayflower Compact: Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Signing of Mayflower Compact" Signed lower right. Original Acrylic painting on Hot Press 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 Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. . . The legacy of England's Henry VIII included nearly a century of religious confusion and turmoil. While the majority of English embraced the established Anglican church by the late sixteenth century, some "Separatists" chose exile in Holland rather than a dilution of their beliefs. However, it was the opening of the New World that provided a divinely inspired solution to their problems. Thus in September 1620, one hundred one settlers plus officers and crew crowded aboard the little merchant ship, Mayflower, and headed for an unknown and untried destination. Two months later, the perilous ocean crossing behind them, they sighted the winterswept shores of Cape Cod. Arriving as they did in a wilderness, the "Saints" or Pilgrim leaders insisted that all agree on a covenant or compact of government before disembarking. The resulting Mayflower Compact , the first American "constitution, " was signed by all the men who pledged to "combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politick. And, by virtue thereof we do enact, constitute and frame such just and equal laws as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony. " Because Plymouth Colony never received a formal charter, the Mayflower Compact remained its only constitution until it became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.

  Vladimir Beilin (20th C) "Mir Space Station Orbit": Vladimir Beilin (Russian, 20th C. ) "Mir Space Station in Orbit" Original Watercolor painting. . . Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. . This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Russia Mir Space Station stamp issued May 29, 1992. . . Its name meant "peace. " And the Mir space station truly lived up to its name. Launched in 1986, Mir was the most ambitious project of its type yet attempted. The core of a large, permanent orbiting complex, Mir had six docking ports designed to accept expansion modules for living quarters and research labs. Up to six cosmonauts could occupy Mir for an extended period of time . perhaps even the three years required for a round-trip to the Red Planet. But the logistics of such a trip are staggering. Experts estimate that just three men would require four-and-a-half tons of food, 10 tons of oxygen and a full 17 tons of water. Other obstacles are formidable as well. During extended stays in space, men can suffer health problems including weight loss, calcium depletion which weakens bones, even psychological disturbances. Experience shows that after several months in space work performance suffers, too. Further, many returning cosmonauts were so weak they had to be carried away on stretchers -- despite two hours of strenuous exercise daily. After only 110 days in space, cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov commented "Mother Earth is punishing me for leaving her for such a long time. " Still, efforts continue to prolong the time humans can safely remain in space. And, if they're successful, Americans and Russians may, together in friendship, someday explore the planet named for the ancient Roman god of war. . . Image Size: 14 x 12 in. .

  Angelo Savelli, Italian, (1911-1995) Abstraction, gouache and ink on paper Signed and dated (1957) upper right. October 30th, 1911 Angelo Savelli was born in Pizzo Calabro (Catanzaro). Since his very childhood, Savelli's interest in art grows thanks to his uncle, the self-taught painter Alfonso Barone. 1930 After attending Filangieri Grammar School in Vibo Valentia, Calabria, he is encouraged by his father Giorgio, an apothecary, to develop his artistic potential; Savelli moves to Rome and attends a high school specializing in arts, and later the Academy of Fine Arts. During this period Savelli is a guest of the Minister of the Royal House of Savoy, Lucifero Falcone, a friend of his father's. 1934 He obtains a pilot's licence from the Ministry of War. The licence also entitles him to a student grant. 1935 He wins the "Mattia Preti" award and later the "Balestra" award for an art contest organized by San Luca Academy in Rome. 1936 He receives his diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts. His decorative painting teacher is Ferruccio Ferrazzi, who ecomes his most important point of reference. Savelli decorates with frescoes the Villa Boimond chapel in Sora (Frosinone), and wins a prize at the Regional Exhibition of Calabria. 1937 He leaves for his military service and enters officer school at the 39th Infantry Regiment. 1939 He serves as an officer in the 81st Infantry Regiment in Frosinone. 1940 He begins teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and keeps up an intense artistic activity. He settles in his studio at 49 Via Margutta, a most popular area among artists such as Guttuso, Franchina, Jarema, Fazzini, Severini. He wins a prize at the Regional Exhibition of Lazio. 1941 He is awarded one of the four 2.500 Lire additional prizes by the Third Bergamo Award, and the following year one of the four 5.000 lire additional prizes by the Fourth Bergamo Award. He reads his first book on Yoga philosophy and meditation, which leads him to discover the spiritual path he will follow all his life. 1943 He is redrafted into the army and assigned to the 82nd Infantry regiment "Torino". After the painful experience of World War II, he returns to Rome where he moves in the milieu of Futurism. In the same year he becomes a member of the Art Club, the independent international artistic association whose members include Jarema (a Polish artist Savelli called "the Viking"), Severini, Guzzi, Montanarini and Tamburi, his close friend Fazzini, and later Dorazio, Mafai, Corpora, Perilli, Consagra and Turcato. This group of artists, active in Rome or having ties with Rome in the Twenties and Thirties, is known as "Scuola Romana" or Roman School. Savelli forms with each one bonds of friendship he will cherish all his life. At the same time he meets Alberto Burri, then at the beginning of his artistic career; unlike many others, Savelli is most available and open-minded to younger artists. 1946-1947 First works where white abstract-figurative patches begin to appear. In several Crucifixions, Christ and Mary Magdalene are painted in white. Savelli needs to experience new emotions; by now he finds the Roman School too limiting, whereas Futurism and Prampolini's latest experiments urge him to search for new techniques. 1947 He stays for several months in Venice. He wins the "Colli Euganei" prize at Abano. 1948 Soggiorna per alcuni mesi a Venezia. Riceve il premio "Colli Euganei" ad Abano. 1948 He gets a one-month scholarship in Paris, and will stay there for a year. This experience is critical for him, and launches him into a wider and more international dimension of art. He declares: "I realized I had to free myself from my divine Italian tradition." During this period he works very intensely and produces many ink and water-colour drawings, with tracts beginning to tend towards a gradual stylization. 1949 Back in Rome, he finds it hard to have his new choices accepted by his friends. After the Expressionist tendencies of his Roman years, he returns from Paris with a different view on modern art, one that cannot be understood by his contemporaries in Rome; only Corpora, Turcato and Santommaso are attuned to it. At Caffè Rosati, patronized by the art world, he meets the young Federico Fellini, who spends hours watching and studying the artists and intellectuals. In the same year in Rome Savelli also meets Theodoros Stamos. 1950 First abstract creations with the two pieces "Oltre l'inquieto". He is present at the XXV Biennale di Venezia. 1953 He marries journalist Elisabeth Fischer. By now a well-known and successful artist, he bravely chooses to leave Italy for good. He settles in New York, a tough, vital city, competitive but international. He also leaves his posts as teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. ?In New York he soon gets to know the most important artists of the moment; Fritz Glarner, Marcel Duchamp, Hans Richeter. He is held in high esteem by all the great representatives of abstract painting, from Robert Motherwell to Ad Reinhardt and Barnett Newman, who is very fond of him. He frequents the Art Club on 10th St. and the New York School artists, among whom Philip Pavia and Jack Tworkov. The latter lets him have his studio between 10th St. and 4th Av. Just opposite the studio are Franz Kline's and Wilhelm Dekooning's workshops. But even though he has become a member of this top quality artists' circle, he does not want to be identified with one group or one circle, he does not mix with art dealers just to sell his works, he accepts no compromises. He is a man of free spirit and is loved for his humanity and sensitivity, for the poetry and innocence of his personality. In 1953 he also meets artist Will Barnet at Cooper Union University, and they form a bond of true brotherhood. 1954 He creates the work "Oval Skin". 1955 He begins a series of serigraphs and collages at Chelsea Workshop. 1956 He creates "Bianco su bianco", a monochrome serigraph, his first completely white piece. 1957 Savelli's first exhibition (collective) in New York. The same year, personal exhibition at D'Amecourt Gallery, Washington D.C. 1958 With some Art Club friends he meets in a New York bar the great art dealer Leo Castelli, who offers to set up an exhibition. His first personal exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery on 77th St. marks the beginning of the most important period of his career in the USA. In the same year he also receives the "Battistoni" international prize for industrial design. 1959 Appointed Director of the art school "La Guardia Memorial House", the illustrious American Academy in Harlem. He will act as supervisor for the art classes held by the institute. 1959 He approaches the white colour through relief printings, changes the materials, rejects colours, modifies the shapes of his works, paints in white with a spatula, and later uses strings, plasters, very light and transparent fabrics, veils and tulle, extolling white as the only pure, bright and absolute colour. He works out a monochrome art, distancing himself from the expressive violence of "action painting", realizing works of extreme lightness and formal purity, from a compelling inner need to reach universal simplicity. Critics define his art as a creation of images free from any figurative reference, aspiring to reach the essential nature of things. 1960 Invited to teach at "Art Workshop", Edna Lewis's American school in Positano (Naples). He also takes part in a workshop on printing techniques in Milan. He invents a lithography process for what he calls "relief prints", an elaborate variation of embossing. 1962 G. Holmes Perkins, president of the University of Pennsylvania, and influential architect Louis Kahn, a University alumnus, decide to modernize the school, appointing as teachers important experts of the new generation. Romoaldo Giurgola, an Italian architect living in America, suggests they invite Angelo Savelli and his old Via Margutta friend Piero Dorazio to reorganize the study programme for the Department of Fine Arts - painting, sculpture and graphics. Savelli accepts and moves to Pennsylvania. He supervises all the activities of the students - who consider him a most charismatic figure - giving them practical help in their working choices. He is a great authority on technique, painting and drawing, and his ability as Maestro is well known among young American artists. In a short time the university becomes the best school of arts in the USA. ?During this period Savelli suffers from serious physical disorders that he manages to overcome thanks to his deeper and deeper knowledge of Zen philosophy. By practising yoga exercises and meditation every day, a life-long discipline, he is able to get over extremely painful experiences. ?A deep everlasting friendship begins between Savelli, Kahn and Giurgola. Savelli lives for ten years in Springtown, without giving up his New York studio. 1961 He receives the "Lissone" award. 1962 He creates his first works using rope, and also eleven embossed lithographic white-on-white pieces, presented by Giulio Carlo Argan (Grattacielo, Milan 1962). 1963.Publication of a book with lithographs by Savelli: "Ten Poems by Ten American Poets" (Romero, Rome 1963). 1964 He wins the "Gran Premio della Grafica" award at the XXXIII Biennale di Venezia for his twenty-seven white-on-white reliefs. 1965-1970 He creates his first meditation hall called "Paradise", in his studio at 186 Bowery St., New York. 1966 He teaches at Columbia University, in New York. 1969-70 Completion of projects "Paradise II" at Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, and "Dante's Inferno" at Peale Galleries of Pennsylvania, Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. 1971 Completion of "Illumine one", a project displayed in 1972 at his Everson Museum personal exhibition, in Syracuse (NY), catalogue introduction by Louis Kahn. 1973 Installation of the sculpture "Empedocles" at Lincoln Center, Syracuse. 1974 He teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca (NY). 1975 He starts a two-year teaching job as Visiting Artist at Pennsylvania State University and creates the work "Wall to Wall", displayed at an exhibition at the same University. He is also invited to teach at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1976 He creates his first unframed canvases, applied directly on the wall. He paints the series of canvases called "On the Quantity of the Surface". 1977 He creates a series of forty white-on-white prints. He accepts the post of Visiting Professor at the University of Texas, Arlington, where he spends the winter semesters for five years. 1978 He creates the installation "Tree with 84 Tree Trunks", displayed at Max Hutchinson Gallery, New York. 1980 He receives the Guggenheim Fellowship from Guggenheim Museum, New York, which allows him to live in Europe and organize personal exhibitions in Milan, Zurich and Rome. 1981 He creates the sculpture "Aglaophon", displayed at Aubodon Art Center, New York. 1982 His wife Elisabeth dies tragically. The depression of his beloved Betty had heavily conditioned Savelli's artistic life for many years. Her dramatic death comes as a great shock to him, which he will get over only after a long period of complete solitude. He leaves New York and flies to his brother Carmelo's in Italy. A few months later he goes back to the USA without having found peace. In time the love of a few friends gives him a measure of comfort. From his memories the most outstanding is writer and poet Luigi Ballerini. The book "Angelo Savelli, Opera grafica 1932-1981" by Giuseppe Apella is published by Scheiwiller. Savelli receives a gold medal for artistic merit from the town of Pizzo Calabro. 1983 He receives an award by the illustrious American Academy of Arts and Letters. 1984 PAC, the Milan museum of contemporary art, prepares a personal exhibition, organized by Luigi Sansone. 1984 Savelli creates "Glory of a Broken Wing, to Elisabeth Fischer" dedicated to his wife: a meaningful and extraordinary work measuring 1650 centimetres (54,13 feet). 1986 The book "Libro bianco", with prints by Savelli and poems by Lucini, is published by Scheiwiller. 1988 He moves to 257 Water Street at Sea Port, Pier 17, just a few meters from the banks of the East River, where Brooklyn Bridge rises majestically. It will be his last studio. It is a red brick town house, the second oldest building in New York. Savelli loves this place and spends a lot of time at "Paris Cafè", a meeting place for young Wall Street operators by day, and a sort of refuge for the fish market people by night: they all know and love him. RAI Corporation in New York produces a documentary movie on his life, directed by Luigi Ballerini, and buys some works by Savelli, displayed at the RAI Corporation building on the Avenue of Americas in the MGM building in New York. ?In the same year "SELVAGGINA", with prints by Savelli and poems by Luigi Ballerini, is published by Scheiwiller. 1989 He meets Susanna Argenterio at RAI Corporation in New York and develops a fatherly affection for her. Thanks to this fond sentiment he feels alive again after years of detachment from the world. They spend a great deal of time together in New York and Italy, at the Argenterio family home near Brescia 1991 Opening of "Angelo Savelli Contemporary Art Center" in Lamezia Terme, Calabria. 1993 He begins the creation of a room at the "Atelier sul Mare" hotel in Castel di Tusa, Sicily, which he will not be able to finish. 1994 Through an artist friend from Tuscany, Giuseppe Friscia, Savelli meets in New York Patrizio Bertelli and his wife Miuccia Prada, who visit his studio and are captivated by his work. From the meeting stems a collaboration with Prada Foundation. Savelli is attracted by Bertelli's vitality and an understanding is reached between the two.

  1735 THOMAS PENN SR Signed Manuscript Document Inventory List of Items Purchased: Colonial America. 1735 Thomas Penn, Sr. as Lord Proprietor of Pennsylvania Signed Handwritten Inventory Listing of Items Purchased. THOMAS PENN (1702-1775). Lord Proprietor of Pennsylvania (1, a Son of William Penn the Founder of the Province of Pennsylvania. Thomas Penn inherited the position of Proprietor of the Colony of Pennsylvania for the Crown of England in 1718 along with his brothers John and Richard, on the death of their father William Penn, until 1746 when John died. Thomas continued as the Proprietor with Richard's son, John, and with his own son John Penn until 1775. August 23, 1735-Dated, Manuscript Document Signed, "Tho(mas) Penn, " (Son of William Penn), being a Handwritten Inventory Listing of Items purchased, measuring about 12. 5" tall x 4. 5" wide, 2 pages (1 sheet written front and back), Very Fine. This original Handwritten inventory list of Thomas Penn (1702-1775) is detailing various items purchased from merchant Joseph Burleigh, during the months of May-August 1735 for a total sum of amounting to 13 Pounds, Two Shillings and Ten Pence. Signed by Thomas Penn along the open margin side on front writing, "James Steele - Pay this Bill of the earliest (?) - (Signed) Tho. Penn". Also, Signed by Burleigh in receipt. Light wear with some ink erosion causing a small piece to be missing to the bottom edge at the final calculation. Some archival fiber tape reinforcement to one fold split and prior mounting traces at the reverse side top edge. Overall, boldly written in rich deep brown ink which is easily readable, nicely signed by Thomas Penn and boldly dated in several locations as being the year 1735. Thomas Penn Sr. (1702-1775), inherited the position of Proprietor of the Colony of Pennsylvania for the Crown of England in 1718 along with his brothers John and Richard on the death of their father William Penn, until 1746 when John died. Thomas continued as the Proprietor with Richard's son, John, and his own son John Penn until 1775. He tried to bring his family out of the debt that had plagued his father. He asserted his independence from the Quakers, and tried to assert his control of the colony almost as a feudal lord. . On May 12, 1732 Thomas with his brothers John and Richard, as the proprietors of Pennsylvania, signed an order to create a commission. This order was directed to Governor Gordon, Isaac Norris, Samuel Preston, James Logan, and Andrew Hamilton, Esquires, and to the gentlemen James Steel and Robert Charles. . The commission, which was to be made up of at least three or more of these individuals, was given full power on behalf of the proprietors for the "running, marking, and laying out" of any boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland. This was in accordance to the agreement signed between the Penn brothers and Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore on May 10, 1732. . Penn arrived in Pennsylvania in August, 1732, and organized the purchase of some of the lands at the outskirts of the Pennsylvania colony. He met with some of the local Indian chiefs and tried to keep the peace as immigrants poured into the countryside north and west of Philadelphia on the Susquehanna, Schuylkill, and Delaware Rivers. . Many of the Indians did not want to sell their land, and had not heard of William Penn's 1686 treaty. Finally in 1737 Acting Governor James Logan convinced several Indian Chiefs to confirm the 1686 deed, which gave the Penns the land west of the Delaware River to the extent that a man could walk in a day and a half. . Logan hired several men to walk the measure, but they walked west at a very fast pace and the Indians felt cheated. Logan and the Penn sons including Thomas were later criticized by some for this "Walking Purchase" and their questionable treatment of the Indians. Part of the difficulty lay in the conflict with the French who laid claim on the back country west of Pennsylvania and the ensuing hostilities of King George's War (1744-1748) and the French and Indian War (1754-1763). . Thomas Penn lobbied against Quaker efforts to make peace with the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes some of whom were allied with the French. The proprietor Penn brothers sold much of their western lands to European settlers, who did not know of the controversy and as a result, may have become resentful of the proprietors. . Penn tried to stop the introduction of Roman Catholicism in the colony. In 1733 a Catholic chapel was built in Philadelphia, and in 1734 Penn attempted to suppress the movement, but the Quaker-led legislative assembly protected the rights of Catholics to worship and build churches. . Penn visited the countryside of Pennsylvania to look for sites to establish towns and county seats. He appointed surveyors for the colony and for the "Lower Counties" which became Delaware, including Joshua Fisher, a prominent merchant in Lewes at the mouth of Delaware Bay. . On one occasion in 1739, Penn visited the future site of Reading, Pennsylvania, where he found only one cabin. As Proprietor he realized the site would be good for the layout of a county seat because it sat in the Schuylkill River valley with hills nearby. Although he never returned to the site, the knowledge he gained on this visit was helpful later when he drew up the plan for Reading. He planned the street map and the water system, and helped surveyors and land agents with suggestions about the sale of lots, from which he stood to profit. Penn took the name from Reading, Berkshire, England and established the town in 1748, and on creation of Berks County in 1752, Reading became the county seat. . Penn returned to England and in 1751 joined the Church of England and married Lady Juliana Fermor, the daughter of Thomas Fermor, 1st Earl of Pomfret and Henrietta Louisa Jeffreys. He did not hold many of the beliefs of the Quakers who had come to Pennsylvania, and lived the life of an aristocrat who had taken from the poor, identifiably different from his Quaker father who had tried to purchase land fairly from the Indians and live a life of peace. . The politics of the colony were complex, with the Quaker population declining and the legislature increasingly at odds with its proprietor. In 1756, Penn attempted to remove the Quakers from power in the colony by having a petition granted by Parliament that would require an oath of loyalty in all colonial legislative assemblies. Because the Quakers never took oaths, they would be banned from power. The attempt failed and the colonial Quakers remained free of any oaths to Parliament. . Penn sent his nephew John Penn to govern the colony in 1763. The new governor faced many problems: Pontiac's Rebellion, disputes over the Penn family lands and taxation, and efforts of Pennsylvanians led by Benjamin Franklin to have the Penn proprietary government replaced with a royal government. . Thomas Penn died in England on March 21, 1775 (aged 73), soon before the American Revolution brought an end to the Penn family's control of Pennsylvania.

  James Chan Leong Mixed Media - Landscape in Reds, 1961: James Chan Leong (Chinese-American, 1929-2011). "Landscape in Reds" mixed media, 1961. An Abstract-Expressionist composition created by Chinese-American post-war artist James Chan Leong when he was living in Rome in 1961. In the States his home was in San Francisco, California; however, Leong would stay in Italy for three decades. This piece is rooted in non-objectivity as we see very little in the way of the figure; however, Leong's focus on the color red may be a reference to his Chinese heritage. Throughout his career, Leong would use his art to address his Chinese-American identity. This mixed media composition is comprised of paper, vinavil, ink, HCL, and casein on paper mounted on canvas. Size: 17. 875" W x 11. 75" H (45. 4 cm x 29. 8 cm); 24" W x 18. 25" H (61 cm x 46. 4 cm) framed. . This composition is accompanied by a copy of the artist's letter to the former owner Pat Baker and states, "Anxious to hear how your husband liked the 'landscape', and what his reactions were. That painting, as well as the other small ones you saw here started a chain reaction toward a freer realization in my work. I'm in the throes of transition, and it's all very exciting. By fall, I should have enough time in which to work these problems out and you will probably see some of them at the Feingarten. / Speaking of the Feingarten, thank you for bringing in your sister and other people to the gallery. I'm really flattered and honored by your selection of my work, and hope the paintings bring you as much joy as it did to me during creation. I'm glad they found a good home . . . ". . This work is also accompanied by a copy of an artist declaration in which James Chan Leong stated that he was an American artist living in Rome, Italy when this piece was painted during the year 1961. . James Chan Leong had a very successful career and received many significant honors and used his art to engage with his identity. Leong went to Norway on a Fulbright Scholarship in 1956. After this, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship which took him to Rome where he stayed at the American Academy. A charismatic individual, he actually transformed the 15th century Palazzo Pio into an artists' haven, subletting spacdes to famous artists such as Cy Twombly. Leong found comfort in Italy where his Chinese American identity was welcomed and embraced. He stated, "I think more than anything else, it gave me a sense of self and assurance that you don't have here … People in America are constantly questioning who you are, what you are. There's always a stratum here that you have to belong to. " . . Provenance: ex Robert Davis collection, New York City, New York USA; ex-Pat Baker, purchased in 1961. . All items legal to buy/sell under U. S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. . . A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. . We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. . #156046 Condition Some age wear to upper left, but otherwise the composition is generally very good save some expected darkening to canvas surrounding the landscape. An exhibition label on the verso states, "Leong - 1961 - "Landscape in Reds" - Mixed Media - Tecnica Mista". Tecnica Mista is Italian for Mixed Media. Minor scuffs to frame. Wired for suspension.

  Chris Calle (B 1961) "Astronaut Floating in Orbit": Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Astronaut Floating in Orbit" Signed lower left. Mixed Media on Illustration Board. . . This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U. S. 45¢ Future Mail Transportation Airmail Se-tenant Block of 4 20th UPU Congress Series stamps issued November 27, 1989. . . Someday, if science fiction becomes fact and people live on other worlds, space shuttles may carry mail to huge scientific and industrial communities set up throughout the solar system -- and beyond. Assuming it proves possible and profitable to build such communities, exciting new technology would come into use, making space stations the means of expanding new scientific and industrial revolutions. Conventional space stations in near-earth orbit already benefit from low gravity conditions, access to the vacuum of space and other extraterrestrial resources. Future space colonists would have these advantages, as well as ready access to unlimited amounts of solar energy, which could cheaply power space factories manufacturing products for the people of earth. And these interstellar factories would minimize the earth's problems of pollution and radioactive waste. If such things come to pass, mail indeed may one day be whisked via space shuttle to faraway addresses where postal workers would no longer have to cope with the rain, snow, sleet and hail of earth. Their deliveries in outer space would be complicated by weightlessness and the lack of a breathable atmosphere. Dressed in spacesuits, equipped with bulky but so very important oxygen packs, space-age postal deliverers would endeavor to complete their extraterrestrial rounds while facing conditions never imagined by earthbound mailmen.

  ERIK NITSCHE (1908 - 1998) "WEATHER VANE"Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Weather Vane in a Clean Sky" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor 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 Germany 80pf Fresh Air stamp issued May 5, 1986. Breathing clean air is no longer a luxury to be taken for granted. For as the world's population continues to grow ... and nations continue to become more industrialized ... the pollution of the atmosphere has become more widespread. Although the problem of air pollution has become more prevalent in recent years, it is a problem with a very long history. For centuries, the smoking chimney has meant warmth, wealth, and work. But along with these benefits, it has filled the air with smoke, smells, and toxic gases. Even in ancient Rome, the dangers of air pollution were realized, and lawsuits came about because of it. The philoshpher Seneca warned of the dangers of the "thick air" in Rome caused by the smoke from chimneys. After Word War II, the enormous economic development brought the world higher standards of living, but also a worsening air pollution problem. To combat this worldwide problem, important international pacts have been made to keep the air clean. It is hoped that these efforts will protect man as well as protect plants and animals -- and even help preserve buildings and memorials. Image Size: in. Overall Size: in. Unframed.
