Est: $425 - $525
ARTIST: Edward T Vebell (Illinois, 1921-2018) NAME: First Legislative Assembly YEAR: 1980 MEDIUM: gouache on board CONDITION: Very good. SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 27 x 27 inches / 68 x 68 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Alone among nations of the modern world, England boasted some form of representative government since 1215. That was the year the barons wrested from King John the Great Charter, with its guarantees of "due process of law" and its famous twelfth article which provided that no "scutage nor aid shall be levied in the kingdom unless by the common consent of our kingdom" -- a commitment which contained at least the germ of a representative body capable of giving consent. Certainly from the Tudor period on, Parliament was a more-or-less effective agency of representative government, and certainly never more so than under the Stuarts, on whom Parliament imposed the Petition of Rights of 1628. Certainly those who came to Virginia were familiar with both the principle and the practice of representative government. The first two Charters of Virginia were speedily withdrawn, and a Third Charter in 1612, transferred most powers to the Virginia Company. It was under this Charter that Governor Yeardley provided for what was to be the first representative assembly in America. At its first meeting in Jamestown, on July 30, 1619, the legislature "considered what laws might issue out of the private concept of any of the Burgesses" and what petitions "were fit to be sent home for England." What is discussed and provided for were relations with the Indians, the regulation of the tobacco trade, and how to prevent or punish "ungodly disorders, and scandalous offenses."

Edward Vebell (IL,1921-2018) acrylic painting
Est: $525 - $675
ARTIST: Edward T Vebell (Illinois, 1921-2018) NAME: Fulton's Clermont Steamboat YEAR: 1980 MEDIUM: acrylic on board CONDITION: Very good. No visible inpaint under UV light. SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 26 x 27 inches / 66 x 68 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. It was the English who invented the first steam engine and the first steam railroad but it was an American, Robert Fulton, who, in 1807, formally launched the steamboat era. Fulton was not the inventor, however, of the steamboat: that distinction belongs to poor John Fitch, a Connecticut Yankee and a veteran of the Continental Army who, as early as 1787, built and launched a forty-five-foot steamboat. But, alas, nothing came of that brave experiment. Fitch could get no financing for his invention and in the end gave up in despair and fled to the wilds of Kentucky where he died. Ten years later, the New York lawyer and diplomat, Robert Livingston, anticipating the role that steamboats might play in a vast nation whose only effective transportation was by water, persuaded his young friend Robert Fulton, with whose artistic and inventive talents he was familiar, to try his hand at building a steamboat. Fulton boasted a natural talent for engineering. He eagerly embraced Livingston's proposal and by 1807 was ready to launch The Clermont, named after Livingston's hometown. On its maiden trip, the boat steamed up the Hudson to Albany and returned five days later, having averaged a speed of five miles an hour. Successful as it was, it brought no great wealth to either Livingston or Fulton, for in 1824, John Marshall's Court pronounced their monopoly unconstitutional as an infringement on congressional power to regulate "commerce concerning the several states."

SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 26 x 27 inches / 66 x 68 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. On March 4, 1933 Franklin Roosevelt took the oath of office, and faced the most dangerous crisis in the history of the nation since 1861. The stockmarket crash of 1929 had set off what proved ot be the deepest and longest depression Americans had ever endured: one that afflicted alike farmers, workers, businessmen and bankers. What this crisis called for was action as swift and decisive as would be taken in time of war. Roosevelt asked for, and took that action. Before the day was out he had declared a national Bank Holiday, called Congress into special session, directed the Federal Reserve to apply its full resources to saving and opening the banks, and foreshadowed a robust program of relief and reform. Then he turned to the nation to explain in language that all could understand. This was the first of his "Fireside Chats," one of FDR's many strokes of political genius. For although the radio had been available for some twelve years, Roosevelt was the first President to take full advantage of it. He used it with a consummate skill which no later president ever achieved. His first address, March 12, 1933, set the pattern for the whole series of thirty-one. It was simple, but never undignified; it explained in terms that everyone could understand, the problems and the actions which he proposed to take. In fact, it made no concessions to popular idiom. It was through these fatherly talks to the American people that Roosevelt reached a rapport with the nation that proved irresistible. PROVENANCE: Collection of James A.

Edward Vebell (IL,1921-2018) acrylic painting
Est: $600 - $750
ARTIST: Edward T Vebell (Illinois, 1921-2018) NAME: Fulton's Clermont Steamboat YEAR: 1980 MEDIUM: acrylic on board CONDITION: Very good. No visible inpaint under UV light. SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 26 x 27 inches / 66 x 68 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. It was the English who invented the first steam engine and the first steam railroad but it was an American, Robert Fulton, who, in 1807, formally launched the steamboat era. Fulton was not the inventor, however, of the steamboat: that distinction belongs to poor John Fitch, a Connecticut Yankee and a veteran of the Continental Army who, as early as 1787, built and launched a forty-five-foot steamboat. But, alas, nothing came of that brave experiment. Fitch could get no financing for his invention and in the end gave up in despair and fled to the wilds of Kentucky where he died. Ten years later, the New York lawyer and diplomat, Robert Livingston, anticipating the role that steamboats might play in a vast nation whose only effective transportation was by water, persuaded his young friend Robert Fulton, with whose artistic and inventive talents he was familiar, to try his hand at building a steamboat. Fulton boasted a natural talent for engineering. He eagerly embraced Livingston's proposal and by 1807 was ready to launch The Clermont, named after Livingston's hometown. On its maiden trip, the boat steamed up the Hudson to Albany and returned five days later, having averaged a speed of five miles an hour. Successful as it was, it brought no great wealth to either Livingston or Fulton, for in 1824, John Marshall's Court pronounced their monopoly unconstitutional as an infringement on congressional power to regulate "commerce concerning the several states."

On March 4, 1933 Franklin Roosevelt took the oath of office, and faced the most dangerous crisis in the history of the nation since 1861. The stockmarket crash of 1929 had set off what proved ot be the deepest and longest depression Americans had ever endured: one that afflicted alike farmers, workers, businessmen and bankers. What this crisis called for was action as swift and decisive as would be taken in time of war. Roosevelt asked for, and took that action. Before the day was out he had declared a national Bank Holiday, called Congress into special session, directed the Federal Reserve to apply its full resources to saving and opening the banks, and foreshadowed a robust program of relief and reform. Then he turned to the nation to explain in language that all could understand. This was the first of his "Fireside Chats," one of FDR's many strokes of political genius. For although the radio had been available for some twelve years, Roosevelt was the first President to take full advantage of it. He used it with a consummate skill which no later president ever achieved. His first address, March 12, 1933, set the pattern for the whole series of thirty-one. It was simple, but never undignified; it explained in terms that everyone could understand, the problems and the actions which he proposed to take. In fact, it made no concessions to popular idiom. It was through these fatherly talks to the American people that Roosevelt reached a rapport with the nation that proved irresistible. PROVENANCE: Collection of James A.

Determined to defend slavery and states' rights as fundamental to its way of life against the threat of hostile legislation from a victorious Republican party, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860. Ten other southern states followed. Meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, in March of 1861, the newly seceded states declared their independence and drew up a Constitution. "Physically speaking," said President Lincoln in his Inaugural Address, "we cannot separate." South Carolina rejected this argument and, determined to repossess her own "territory," demanded the evacuation of federal forces on Sumter Island in Charleston Harbor. When Lincoln responded by sending an expedition to reinforce the Fort, General Beauregard, in command at Charleston, decided to rally southern support by precipitating war. At 4:30 on the morning of April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries fired the first guns of what was to be a four-year war. The Union commander, Major Anderson, responded as best he could, but in vain: the next morning the Fort was afire and Anderson lowered the flag. The next day the garrison marched out with colors flying and drums beating. Four years later to the day, General Anderson presided over the raising of Old Glory. "I thank God," he said, "that I have lived to see this day." And as he began to hoist the ragged and shell-torn flag, the wind caught it and shook its folds out above the Fort, and every soldier instinctively saluted. PROVENANCE: Collection of James A.

Alone among nations of the modern world, England boasted some form of representative government since 1215. That was the year the barons wrested from King John the Great Charter, with its guarantees of "due process of law" and its famous twelfth article which provided that no "scutage nor aid shall be levied in the kingdom unless by the common consent of our kingdom" -- a commitment which contained at least the germ of a representative body capable of giving consent. Certainly from the Tudor period on, Parliament was a more-or-less effective agency of representative government, and certainly never more so than under the Stuarts, on whom Parliament imposed the Petition of Rights of 1628. Certainly those who came to Virginia were familiar with both the principle and the practice of representative government. The first two Charters of Virginia were speedily withdrawn, and a Third Charter in 1612, transferred most powers to the Virginia Company. It was under this Charter that Governor Yeardley provided for what was to be the first representative assembly in America. At its first meeting in Jamestown, on July 30, 1619, the legislature "considered what laws might issue out of the private concept of any of the Burgesses" and what petitions "were fit to be sent home for England." What is discussed and provided for were relations with the Indians, the regulation of the tobacco trade, and how to prevent or punish "ungodly disorders, and scandalous offenses."

Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Nuclear Fission" Signed lower right. Original Acrylic painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Since the beginning of time, mankind has searched for sources of energy. However, it was not until 1934 that the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard formulated a theory of a nuclear chain reaction with limitless power, and took out a patent on the idea. By that time physicists everywhere -- Bohr in Denmark, Heisenberg in Germany, Lawrence in California -- were working feverishly on the problem of splitting the atom to create unprecedented power. When Hitler launched his crusade to conquer the world, he assigned physicists the task of making an atomic bomb. Fearful that the atomic bomb would give Hitler certain victory, Leo Szilard urged his associate Albert Einstein to warn President Roosevelt of this immeasurable threat. Roosevelt responded promptly by creating the Manhattan Project to make the bomb. The masterminds of the project were recruited largely from Europe -- Nils Bohr from Denmark, Einstein from Germany, Fermi from Italy, Szilard from Hungary and nearly one hundred other scientists recruited from a dozen countries. The group worked out the scientific and engineering problems and produced the first atomic chain reaction on December 2, 1942. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was exploded at Los Alamos, with a force that astonished even its makers. When Churchill heard the news, he exclaimed prophetically, "This is the Second Coming -- in wrath." Today, nuclear power is harnessed not only for weapons, but also as a source of energy.

SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 27 x 28 inches / 68 x 71 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: The first of the great trails West was the Santa Fe. As early as 1619, Spain had made the little mission town of Santa Fe the capital of New Mexico, and zealously guarded it against intrusion by Americans. Then in 1821, Mexico won independence from Spain, all was changed: the new government welcomed American traders -- and textiles, tools, weapons and money -- in exchange for silver, furs and wool. It was an early explorer, William Becknell, who first marked out one of the several trails to Santa Fe, from Independence, Missouri to the Great Bend of the Arkansas, then to the Rockies and south across the Cimarron Desert to Santa Fe. Not until the acquisition of New Mexico by the United States did trade with Santa Fe become important. Scores of traders, muleteers and "bullwackers" wound their way across the plains and into the country of the Indians. The discovery of gold in California gave new life to the Santa Fe Trail, for it was an alternate route to the Pacific. The trail reached its greatest days in the 1860s when over 2,500 wagons, with over three thousand men and women and almost thirty thousand oxen made the venture in one season. It came to an end in 1880 when the Santa Fe Railroad was completed. Perhaps, in the long run, its greatest contribution was to the American imagination and American literature.

The clipper ship had a short but glorious life, from the mid-1840s to the 1860s, when steamboats and railroads took over. The greatest of ship designers and builders was Donald McKay, who in 1850 launched the Stag Hound, the first of many clipper ships he built. In 1851 he built what was called the noblest and most beautiful ship ever built: the Flying Cloud -- 229 feet in length, forty in breadth, and with her sky-sail rising 200 feet from the deck. She was not only a thing of beauty, she was also the fastest ship afloat. On her maiden voyage she logged 374 nautical miles the first day out; she rounded Cape Horn and made San Francisco in eighty-nine days, a record never surpassed by a sailboat. The Flying Cloud, whose birth coincided with the discovery of gold in California, played a role in the history of that state. It was faster -- and safer -- to sail around Cape Horn than to go overland from the Mississippi. The Flying Cloud wrote a chapter, too, in the history of maritime Massachusetts, for it continued the famous China Trade inaugurated by Captain Gray in 1782, and brought both wealth and the Chinese culture to that most cosmopolitan of American cities, Boston.

Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Women's Suffrage" Signed lower right. Original Acrylic painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. In 1840 two intrepid abolitionists, Lucretia Mott and Elisabeth Cady Stanton, sailed to England to attend a world abolitionist convention, only to find themselves excluded from any participation and banished to the gallery. Outraged, they returned to America, determined not only to free Blacks from slavery, but women from semi-slavery as well. They organized the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention which resolved, quite simply, that "woman is man's equal and the highest good of the race demands that she be recognized as such." That was the formal beginning of what proved a century-long crusade. In 1869, Wyoming Territory led the way to reform by granting women the vote and gradually other states, mostly in the West, followed her example. By the time of World War I, thirteen states had adopted women's suffrage, and when in 1918, New York joined in, victory seemed in sight. Now the "suffragettes" concentrated on Congress; following the English example they paraded, demonstrated, went on hunger strikes and chained themselves to the White House fence. Belatedly (and reluctantly) President Wilson came out for women's suffrage as a war measure, and in the summer of 1919, Congress passed the 19th Amendment providing that "the right of a citizen of the United States to vote shall not be abridged on account of sex." Notwithstanding implacable hostility from the South, the Amendment was ratified by three-fourths of the states on August 18, 1920. Image Size: 20 x 21 in. Overall Size: 26.5 x 26.5 in. Unframed.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. From the first English settlements at Jamestown and Plymouth, land was "free" if it could be wrestled from the Indians. With independence, the states discovered an inability to preserve their claims from land-hungry settlers. Both the states and the nation attempted the plan of selling property to land companies, which in turn sold it off to settlers. The vast majority of the pioneers who pushed across the Alleghenies, however, preferred to take what they thought was rightfully theirs without payment. As early as 1812, a "True American Society" in Ohio asserted that "every man is entitled by Nature to a portion of the soil." In the 19th century, this principle came to be widely accepted. With the secession of the slave-holding South, opposition to "free" soil, both as free for settlers and as "free" of slaves, disappeared. On May 20, 1862, President Lincoln signed a Homestead Act which gave to any person "the head of a family or of 21 years of age," who had not fought in the Confederate Army, the right to claim 160 acres of public land. It was, potentially, one of the most revolutionary Acts ever passed by a modern legislature, even if it did not quite work out to be a revolution. Most of the newly opened land came into the hands of giant corporations and land speculators, but perhaps as much as 300 million acres of precious American property were acquired by "homesteaders." This Cover commemorates the anniversary of the Homestead Act on May 20, 1862. Image Size: 20 x 21 in. Overall Size: 26.5 x 27 in. Unframed. (B06076)

Alone among nations of the modern world, England boasted some form of representative government since 1215. That was the year the barons wrested from King John the Great Charter, with its guarantees of "due process of law" and its famous twelfth article which provided that no "scutage nor aid shall be levied in the kingdom unless by the common consent of our kingdom" -- a commitment which contained at least the germ of a representative body capable of giving consent. Certainly from the Tudor period on, Parliament was a more-or-less effective agency of representative government, and certainly never more so than under the Stuarts, on whom Parliament imposed the Petition of Rights of 1628. Certainly those who came to Virginia were familiar with both the principle and the practice of representative government. The first two Charters of Virginia were speedily withdrawn, and a Third Charter in 1612, transferred most powers to the Virginia Company. It was under this Charter that Governor Yeardley provided for what was to be the first representative assembly in America. At its first meeting in Jamestown, on July 30, 1619, the legislature "considered what laws might issue out of the private concept of any of the Burgesses" and what petitions "were fit to be sent home for England." What is discussed and provided for were relations with the Indians, the regulation of the tobacco trade, and how to prevent or punish "ungodly disorders, and scandalous offenses."

Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Fulton's Clermont Steamboat" Signed lower right. Original Acrylic painting on Cold Press Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. It was the English who invented the first steam engine and the first steam railroad but it was an American, Robert Fulton, who, in 1807, formally launched the steamboat era. Fulton was not the inventor, however, of the steamboat: that distinction belongs to poor John Fitch, a Connecticut Yankee and a veteran of the Continental Army who, as early as 1787, built and launched a forty-five-foot steamboat. But, alas, nothing came of that brave experiment. Fitch could get no financing for his invention and in the end gave up in despair and fled to the wilds of Kentucky where he died. Ten years later, the New York lawyer and diplomat, Robert Livingston, anticipating the role that steamboats might play in a vast nation whose only effective transportation was by water, persuaded his young friend Robert Fulton, with whose artistic and inventive talents he was familiar, to try his hand at building a steamboat. Fulton boasted a natural talent for engineering. He eagerly embraced Livingston's proposal and by 1807 was ready to launch The Clermont, named after Livingston's hometown. On its maiden trip, the boat steamed up the Hudson to Albany and returned five days later, having averaged a speed of five miles an hour. Successful as it was, it brought no great wealth to either Livingston or Fulton, for in 1824, John Marshall's Court pronounced their monopoly unconstitutional as an infringement on congressional power to regulate "commerce concerning the several states."

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. On March 4, 1933 Franklin Roosevelt took the oath of office, and faced the most dangerous crisis in the history of the nation since 1861. The stockmarket crash of 1929 had set off what proved ot be the deepest and longest depression Americans had ever endured: one that afflicted alike farmers, workers, businessmen and bankers. What this crisis called for was action as swift and decisive as would be taken in time of war. Roosevelt asked for, and took that action. Before the day was out he had declared a national Bank Holiday, called Congress into special session, directed the Federal Reserve to apply its full resources to saving and opening the banks, and foreshadowed a robust program of relief and reform. Then he turned to the nation to explain in language that all could understand. This was the first of his "Fireside Chats," one of FDR's many strokes of political genius. For although the radio had been available for some twelve years, Roosevelt was the first President to take full advantage of it. He used it with a consummate skill which no later president ever achieved. His first address, March 12, 1933, set the pattern for the whole series of thirty-one. It was simple, but never undignified; it explained in terms that everyone could understand, the problems and the actions which he proposed to take. In fact, it made no concessions to popular idiom. It was through these fatherly talks to the American people that Roosevelt reached a rapport with the nation that proved irresistible. Image Size: 20 x 21 in. Overall Size: 26 x 26.5 in. Unframed.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Determined to defend slavery and states' rights as fundamental to its way of life against the threat of hostile legislation from a victorious Republican party, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860. Ten other southern states followed. Meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, in March of 1861, the newly seceded states declared their independence and drew up a Constitution. "Physically speaking," said President Lincoln in his Inaugural Address, "we cannot separate." South Carolina rejected this argument and, determined to repossess her own "territory," demanded the evacuation of federal forces on Sumter Island in Charleston Harbor. When Lincoln responded by sending an expedition to reinforce the Fort, General Beauregard, in command at Charleston, decided to rally southern support by precipitating war. At 4:30 on the morning of April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries fired the first guns of what was to be a four-year war. The Union commander, Major Anderson, responded as best he could, but in vain: the next morning the Fort was afire and Anderson lowered the flag. The next day the garrison marched out with colors flying and drums beating. Four years later to the day, General Anderson presided over the raising of Old Glory. "I thank God," he said, "that I have lived to see this day." And as he began to hoist the ragged and shell-torn flag, the wind caught it and shook its folds out above the Fort, and every soldier instinctively saluted. Image Size: 20 x 21 in.

SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 27 x 28 inches / 68 x 71 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: The first of the great trails West was the Santa Fe. As early as 1619, Spain had made the little mission town of Santa Fe the capital of New Mexico, and zealously guarded it against intrusion by Americans. Then in 1821, Mexico won independence from Spain, all was changed: the new government welcomed American traders -- and textiles, tools, weapons and money -- in exchange for silver, furs and wool. It was an early explorer, William Becknell, who first marked out one of the several trails to Santa Fe, from Independence, Missouri to the Great Bend of the Arkansas, then to the Rockies and south across the Cimarron Desert to Santa Fe. Not until the acquisition of New Mexico by the United States did trade with Santa Fe become important. Scores of traders, muleteers and "bullwackers" wound their way across the plains and into the country of the Indians. The discovery of gold in California gave new life to the Santa Fe Trail, for it was an alternate route to the Pacific. The trail reached its greatest days in the 1860s when over 2,500 wagons, with over three thousand men and women and almost thirty thousand oxen made the venture in one season. It came to an end in 1880 when the Santa Fe Railroad was completed. Perhaps, in the long run, its greatest contribution was to the American imagination and American literature.

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 breakdown of government under the Articles of Confederation in the mid-1780s persuaded the Continental Congress to call for a convention to amend the Articles so that they would prove "adequate to the exigencies of Union." That convention assembled in Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, and after a little more than three months of debate, completed and signed the Constitution of the United States on September 17th. Within a year it was ratified by the States and went into effect on the 16th of April, 1789 when President Washington made his Inaugural Address to the First Congress. "That Constitution," William Gladstone was to say a century later, "is the most remarkable work in modern times to have been produced by the human intellect at a single stroke." There is no need to modify that conclusion today. It was the first constitution to derive its authority from the people, and the first to be ratified by the people. For the first time, too, it provided for the effective separation of executive, legislative and judicial power. It created the first effective federal system, and in so doing, placed civil over military authority. It contained within itself provisions for expansion -- not by adding "colonies" but by providing for the admission of new territories as states. It contained the first Bill of Rights to provide substantive as well as procedural guarantees to the liberty of the people. No wonder then that it alone among written constitutions, has survived for over two hundred years. Image Size: 20 x 21.25 in. Overall Size: 23.75 x 26.5 in. Unframed. (B05379)

For nearly forty years after the great epidemic of 1916, which brought panic to the city of New York and the country as a whole, parents passed summers in fear of poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis. Little was known of the dreaded disease, except that it was seasonal, striking in summer and leaving thousands of children dead and thousands more crippled. No wonder the jubilation in 1955, both in the United States and around the world, when a vaccine developed by Joans Salk (then on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) proved an effective deterrent against the disease. Honored by governments, idolized by the public, Dr. Salk fared less well at the hands of his scientific colleagues. Criticized incessantly during the early stages of his research, Salk had pursued, nevertheless, his investigations to success. After the vaccine had gained acceptance, he was nominated for both the Nobel Prize and membership in the National Academy of Science. Salk received neither award. Despite being hampered by a manufacturer's botching of early samples of the vaccine and the reluctance of the American Medical Association to sponsor mass immunizations, the "Salk Vaccine" demonstrated its worth. By 1963 the incidences of polio had declined over ninety-five percent -- surely, one of the great triumphs of medicine. In the same year the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, which today continues its researches into ways to prevent other illnesses, opened its doors at La Jolla, California. Image Size: 20 x 21 in.

When the United States Constitution was drawn up no list of rights was included, primarily because legislators felt it was unnecesaary to guarantee rights that were commonly accepted. However, when the Constitution was sent to the states for ratification, the American people did not share that opinion. Soon an outcry went up demanding a bill of rights to protect America's freedoms. The Anti-Federalists, a group opposed to ratification of the Constitution altogether, championed the Bill of Rights cause, correctly sensing that it would impede the adoption of the Constitution. Meanwhile, the Federalists, those men who supported the Constitution, pushed harder for ratification, fearing that the Bill of Rights issue would cost them ground. Eventually the Federalists won out and the Constitution was adopted. However, because he knew a Bill of Rights was the will of the people, James Madision introduced the subject to the House in 1789. By September of that year, a conference committee had worked out twelve amendments which were passed by the legislature and sent to the President and states for ratification. Two of the twelve were rejected, but on December 15, 1791, the other ten became America's much sought-after Bill of Rights, the guarantee of the people's freedoms in force yet today.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Born on a farm in the midst of the Civil War, Henry Ford did not find his true profession until he began working with the internal combustion machine, chiefly "to lift farm drudgery off flesh and blood and lay it on steel and motors." He quickly discovered, however, that "people were more interested in something that would travel on roads, than in something that would do work on the farm." His first motor car was a two-seater buggy powered by a four horsepower gasoline engine, and was on the road in the Depression year of 1893. Depression or not, it caught the public fancy; soon thousands, then tens of thousands, were on the dirt roads, and soon the popularity of the new motor car led to a nationwide demand for paved highways. In the meantime, Ford tried his skills at building racing cars: these proved effective, but not profitable, and he returned to making a car so cheap that everyone could afford to own one. In 1908, he devised his most ingenious idea ... the ever-famous Model T which, by devising an assembly line technique, he was able to sell for less than four hundred dollars! The Model T was, or seemed, almost indestructible. The most typical American of all cars, the Model T was the first mass-produced assembly line car: the first car that everyone could afford. In its appearance and its character, it represented the symbol of American equality. Image Size: 20 x 21.25 in. Overall Size: 25.75 x 27 in. Unframed. (B06525)

Ed Vebell (1921-2018) "First Immigrants Land" Oil
Est: $350 - $700
Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "First Immigrants Land" Signed lower right. Original oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Immigration is the great, the central, theme of American history; all Americans, except Indians, are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. For all -- English, Dutch and French in the seventeenth century; Germans, Scots and Scandinavians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; Italians, Slavs, Greeks and Hispanics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries -- the experience held much in common. All had to uproot themselves, break away from families and folkways, and adjust themselves to a new environment, new institutions and a new language. From the founding of the Republic until 1917, the United States welcomed all newcomers and invited each to membership in its social and political community. If the United States was not precisely a "melting pot," it was a loom on which the domestic warp and the imported weft were woven into a harmonious pattern. Over the century and a half for which we have statistics, over fifty million immigrants sought American shores. During most of the nineteenth century immigrants were "processed" at Castle Garden in lower Manhattan; in 1892, the entry port was transferred to Ellis Island in New York City's harbor. Ellis Island became, and remains, inextricably associated in the American imagination with the gates to the promised land. This association was reinforced by the location, on adjoining Bedloe's Island of the Statue of Liberty. This colossal monument to American freedom was a gift of the French people on the centenary of American independence. Image Size: 20 x 21 in. Overall Size: 24 x 27 in. Unframed. (B05346)

Edward Vebell (IL,1921-2018) gouache painting
Est: $800 - $1,050
ARTIST: Edward T Vebell (Illinois, 1921-2018) NAME: Illustration - Steamboat Race YEAR: 1979 MEDIUM: gouache on board CONDITION: Excellent. SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 21 inches / 50 x 53 cm BOARD SIZE: 26 x 27 inches / 66 x 68 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. Although legend and romance surround the era of the Clipper Ships and their races around the globe, no mode of transportation has so enthralled the American people as the steamboat -- especially the paddlewheelers, replete with gamblers and southern belles, that piled the Mississippi. For some fifty years steamboats, with the slender smokestacks and columned decks, carried trade and travellers up and down the mighty "Father of Waters," and along its giant tributaries. While cardsharks preyed on unwary plantation owners returning home from successful trading in New Orleans, there was money to be made by everyone from the frequent races between boats. Faster and faster the great paddlewheels churned: in 1815 it took 25 days to go from New Orleans to St. Louis; by 1853 the time was whittled down to four days, nine hours. The most fabled race of all took place in 1870 when the Robert E. Lee made the trip in three days, eighteen hours, fourteen minutes, defeating its rival the Natchez by over three hours. All America, and some of Europe, too, participated in the betting as telegraphs flashed reports of the progress of the two boats. Over ten thousand people lined the shore at Memphis as they passed. The most fabled race was, indeed, almost the last race. The expansion of the railroads after the Civil War doomed the steamboat to near extinction on inland waters, though its successors survive and flourish on the Great Lakes even today.
