            Mark Schuler (B. 1951) View of Earth from Moon

            Est: $100 - $1,000

            Mark Schuler (American, B. 1951) "View of Earth from Moon" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 45c First Manned Orbit of the Moon stamp issued November 24, 1989. No country ever demonstrated its aspirations and abilities more clearly than did America when Apollo landed on the moon. On July 20, 1969, the dreams of every American became reality when Neil Armstrong announced to all the world, "The Eagle has landed." On touching the powdery surface, he spoke his now famous words, "That's one small step for a man ... one giant leap for mankind." Fifteen minutes later, Buzz Aldrin began his descent from the Eagle to become the second man on the moon. The time on the moon was short and the men worked hard to complete all planned experiments. But, the men gladly found time to erect an American flag, not as a symbol of territorial claim, but as an identification of their proud nation which had completed the first manned lunar landing. Soon, the President's voice was transmitted from the Oval Office to the Moon. "Neil and Buzz . . . because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world." It was a touching moment for the astronauts and for their fellow Americans alike. Before long, the men with their carefully collected scientific data again boarded the Eagle for rendezvous with the orbiting Apollo spaceship and astronaut Mike Collins. The sense of relief the three men felt when they were again united onboard Columbia was also felt by the entire world. As they sped toward earth, the men shared with all mankind a sense of awe at the opening of a new frontier. Man had left his planet to explore another heavenly body ... and returned.

            Mark Schuler (B. 1951) "White House"

            Est: $100 - $1,000

            Mark Schuler (American, B. 1951) "White House" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for The Presidents of the United States of America Collection. Each Cover was postmarked at the birthplace of each President and on the anniversary of his birth. Both today and in years gone by, the home of the Presidents, the White House has been a proud symbol of America's democracy. The White House was built according to the plans of Irish architect James Hoban, who won a five hundred dollar prize for his design. The first President to live in the White House was John Adams. After only four months of shivering in their chilly "castle," the Adamses were free to leave Washington when Thomas Jefferson won the Presidency. The first President to spend an entire term in the White House, Jefferson devoted his efforts to improving the mansion and furnishing it in style. Following Jefferson's two terms, the Madisons moved into the White House and the famous hostess Dolley Madison began her efforts to redecorate the White House. Sadly, much of her work was lost when the British burned the White House. However, the quick-thinking Mrs. Madison managed to save many Cabinet papers, the White House silver and a painting of General George Washington. White House architect James Hoban supervised the restoration of the White House. President James Monroe added greatly to the mansion's decor by selling to the government valuable Louis XVI furniture he had acquired while serving as a diplomat in Paris, France. In ensuing years, each American President and his family have left something of themselves in the White House, but the Monroe furnishings form the heart of the historic collection of the Executive Mansion.

Earth-bound observatories which peer into the vastness of space provide invaluable astronomical data, but these complex pieces of equipment cannot definitively "see" much beyond the fringes of our galaxy. In 1993 the European Space Agency has scheduled the launch of its Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). Designed to observe distant galaxies and record the birth of stars, the ISO will vastly out-distance balloon-born and ground-based infrared instruments, with a tenthousand-fold increase in sensitivity resulting from the removal of atmospheric and telescopic heat radiation. Vaulted into space by the ESA's Ariane launcher, the ISO will then use its thrusters to seek an operational orbit slightly above the normal ellipse of Earth's orbit to ensure minimal interference from the planet's layers of trapped protons and electrons. Monitoring the ISO from its Satellite Tracking Station at Villafranca, Spain, ESA members hope the observatory's sojourn in space will enhance the world scientific community's knowledge of the universe and our place in it.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 45c First Space Station Crew stamp issued November 24, 1989. On 23 April 1971, the Soviets had placed Soyuz 10 into orbit. Following an early morning launch, Soyuz began its rendezvous maneuvers and docked with Salyut I on the afternoon of the 24th. The final docking took place in two stages. The automatic systems brought the manned craft within 180 meters of the target vehicle, and then spacecraft commander Vladimir Alexandrovish Shatalov took over. After ninety minutes, he guided the Soyuz to a successful docking. The two vehicles remained joined for five hours and thirty minutes while a series of experiments were conducted with the flight systems of both Soyuz and Salyut. Much to the surprise of most observers, there was no attempt to transfer either Alexei Stanislavovich Yeliseyev or Nikolai Nikolayevich Rukavishnikov into the space station. After separation from Salyut, the crew of Soyuz 10 conducted circular maneuvers around the station, taking photographs and transmitting live television pictures of it to the ground.

He ruthlessly cracked down on civil rights issues, inaugurated the Peace Corps and offered the poor a "New Frontier" of hope. He met communism with brash confidence, forcing Soviet missiles out of Cuba. Perhaps the only time Kennedy faltered was during the Bay of Pigs operation, which was designed to wrest Cuba from Fidel Castro. But, through it all, his hopes for reelection looked bright. But it was not to be, for while he was campaigning in Dallas, Texas, an assassin killed America's young President John F. Kennedy. Image Size: 16 x 12.5 in. Overall Size: 19 x 16 in. Unframed.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Maximum Card for the U.S. Flag Over Yosemite stamp issue of May 20, 1988. Serene and dreamlike in its misty dawns, and inviting all with lush, green meadows and giant trees, Yosemite National Park is among the most beautiful places on earth. People come by the thousands to experience this land apart from the cares of modern society. In 790,000 acres of High Sierra and world-famous lower level giant sequoia groves, Yosemite offers the best of America's natural majesty. Her smooth, granite domes -- polished by 2,000-foot thick glaciers many thousands of years ago -- and her steadfast, immovable mountains with thunderous falls cascading down, leave visitors breathless and awestruck. Thus, it is no wonder, that centuries of dreamers have found refuge in the land now called Yosemite National Park. The Indians called it Ahwahnee, meaning "deep, grassy valley." And Horace Greeley noted it as, "The greatest marvel of the continent." To Teddy Roosevelt, Yosemite was, "the most beautiful place in the world." And to Writer/Naturalist John Muir, it was worthy of his praises for many, many years. Muir first saw Yosemite in a painting in 1863, and was drawn to it. Arriving in 1868, he spent six years haunting the area, exploring its precipices, scaling its spiraling cliffs, and he would write of its unequaled beauty the rest of his life. In fact, it was John Muir who led the fight to make Yosemite a protected National Park, preserving its countless wonders for centuries to come. Image Size: 9.5 x 13.5 in.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 25c Flag over Yosemite stamp issued June 8, 1996. The Indians called it Ahwahnee, the deep, grassy valley. To Horace Greeley it was "the greatest marvel of the continent." Teddy Roosevelt found Yosemite "the most beautiful place in the world. " But perhaps it was writer and naturalist John Muir who was most profoundly inspired by the naturally magnificent grandeur that is now Yosemite National Park. Until the end of his life, he wrote of the region's natural majesty. It was Muir, in fact, who led the way to the creation of Yosemite as a protected National Park. A great wilderness of glittering lakes, rushing streams, jagged peaks and granite domes, Yosemite lies in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in east-central California, about two hundred miles from San Francisco. The park is a haven to flora and fauna as varied as it is plentiful, a place where everything from deer to bear find shelter among towering sequoias and lush ferns. After seeing a painting of the area, Muir was so drawn to it that he would later spend six years exploring the park's 790,000 acres of High Sierra territory and lower-level giant sequoia groves. His fervor about the area aroused public interest, and led Congress to create Yosemite National Park in 1890. The state of California ceded Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove, not then part of the park, to the United States government to complete the beautiful reserve in 1906. Thus, as John Muir had hoped it would be, the breathtaking splendor of Yosemite has been preserved to inspire awe in generations to come. Image Size: 16.25 x 14.75 in. Overall Size: 22 x 19.75 in.

Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the 29c Statue of Liberty Self-Adhesive stamp issued June 24, 1994. In 1865, ?douard Ren? Lefebvre de Laboulaye, bristling under the tyrannical rule of Napoleon III, proposed the idea of creating a monument to American independence. Suggesting to his dinner guests that this tribute would serve as a gift from France to the people of the United States on the centennial of their independence in 1876, de Laboulaye reasoned that this token would also reinforce the ideals of equality and liberty still held by many of his fellow countrymen. Sculptor Fr?d?ric-Auguste Bartholdi, attending the gathering, volunteered to plan the design. Six years later, the artist traveled to the United States in search of a location for his monument to freedom. When he spotted Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor, Bartholdi remarked: "Here ... my statue must rise; here where people get their first view of the New World." Drawing his inspiration from the Colossus of Rhodes and a 76-foot statue of St. Charles Borromoe standing in Arona, Italy, Bartholdi labored tirelessly to "glorify the Republic (America) and Liberty." Working on his 36-foot plaster model in sections, the artist painstakingly pored over thousands of precise measurements to ensure that the statue was accurately proportioned. Some said its features were based on those of Bartholdi's cherished mother, a speculation he neither denied nor affirmed. This painting boldly symbolizes the American freedom that Bartholdi successfully captured in his creation of the Statue of Liberty. Image Size: 16.75 x 15 in. Overall Size: 21.75 x 19.5 in. Unframed.

On October 6, 1990, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral. Six hours later, the crew of Discovery opened its payload doors to deploy valuable European cargo -- the deep-space probe Ulysses. This extraordinary joint NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) venture culminated decades of intensive research and development by the ESA's unique commonwealth of science. Slated to be the first spacecraft to explore the polar regions of the Sun, Ulysses ignited the first of its three upper-stage motors within seventy minutes after discharge from Discovery and rocketed toward Jupiter, its first stop during a five-year mission. The probe carried a payload comprised of instruments designed to measure the solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field, radio bursts and plasma rays, solar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays, interstellar neutral gas and cosmic dust. Encountering Jupiter in 1992, Ulysses utilized the enormous planet's gravitational pull to propel itself out of elliptic orbit into direct solar orbit. For the next two hundred and thirty-five days, Ulysses hovered between 70 and 80 degrees solar latitude, conducting its priceless research and relaying information back to Earth.

On July 18, 1966, exactly 101 minutes apart, two rockets were launched flawlessly into space from Cape Kennedy, Florida. Timing was critical (a leeway of only 40 seconds could be allowed) because the two spacecraft were to attempt to rendezvous miles above Earth. The manned craft was Gemini 10, piloted by John Young and copiloted by Michael Collins. Their key objective was to dock Gemini 10 with the unmanned Agena spacecraft launched less than two hours earlier. It was important to the entire Gemini Project that the mission succeed; previous such flights had experienced disappointing failures in attempting to accomplish such a rendezvous. After 40 minutes of maneuvering, the Gemini 10 astronauts successfully docked their vehicle with its target. Young and Collins then proceeded to approach Gemini 8's derelict Agena, which had been left behind in an emergency. Collins reached the marooned craft with a 27-minute space walk. Loud cheers could be heard in Mission Control when the astronauts' spacecraft finally splashed down in the Atlantic, for Gemini 10 was the first mission to accomplish all of the objectives required for a lunar mission in the upcoming Apollo program: orbital rendezvous, docking, orbital maneuvering of the composite vehicle and controlled work during extra-vehicular activity.

This artwork was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 45c First Probe Beyond the Solar System stamp issued November 24, 1989. The Sun is the central body in our solar system and one of about 100 billion stars that comprise our galaxy. Revolving around the Sun in ascending order of distance are nine planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Moon revolves around the Earth. Comets, meteors and meteorites also make up the solar system. The planet closest to the Sun, Mercury, is 36 million miles away; the farthest from the Sun is Pluto, 3.6 billion miles away. The Earth is estimated to be about 4.7 billion years old and present evidence suggests the planets were all formed at about the same time -- though the Sun is almost certainly older. Although many theories have been advanced, we do not yet fully understand how and when the solar system came to be. This spectacular painting shows the solar system in all its vast glory.

Voyager 1 was one of a pair of spacecraft launched to explore the planets of the outer solar system and the interplanetary environment. Each Voyager had as its major objectives at each planet to: (1) investigate the circulation, dynamics, structure, and composition of the planet's atmosphere; (2) characterize the morphology, geology, and physical state of the satellites of the planet; (3) provide improved values for the mass, size, and shape of the planet, its satellites, and any rings; and, (4) determine the magnetic field structure and characterize the composition and distribution of energetic trapped particles and plasma therein. Each Voyager had mounted to one of the sides of the bus a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk. The disk has recorded on it sounds and images of Earth designed to portray the diversity of life and culture on the planet. Each disk is encased in a protective aluminum jacket along with a cartridge and a needle. Instructions explaining from where the spacecraft originated and how to play the disk are engraved onto the jacket. The 115 images on the disk were encoded in analog form.

Earth-bound observatories which peer into the vastness of space provide invaluable astronomical data, but these complex pieces of equipment cannot definitively "see" much beyond the fringes of our galaxy. In 1993 the European Space Agency has scheduled the launch of its Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). Designed to observe distant galaxies and record the birth of stars, the ISO will vastly out-distance balloon-born and ground-based infrared instruments, with a tenthousand-fold increase in sensitivity resulting from the removal of atmospheric and telescopic heat radiation. Vaulted into space by the ESA's Ariane launcher, the ISO will then use its thrusters to seek an operational orbit slightly above the normal ellipse of Earth's orbit to ensure minimal interference from the planet's layers of trapped protons and electrons. Monitoring the ISO from its Satellite Tracking Station at Villafranca, Spain, ESA members hope the observatory's sojourn in space will enhance the world scientific community's knowledge of the universe and our place in it.

Both highly instrumented, they had a common mission: make a close approach to the mysterious planet Jupiter, while performing sophisticated and detailed examinations of its atmosphere, gravity, radiation, and magnetic fields. After its swing around the great planet, Pioneer 10 headed for a rendezvous with the star Aldebaran -- light years away! Pioneer 11 made an even closer examination of Jupiter, barely surviving the hostile radiation belts, and was then whipped on its way to its future rendezvous, in 1979, with the great ringed planet Saturn.

America's Viking Space Program to Mars held the entire world in suspense. For almost a year, the sparkling Viking I spacecraft, followed closely by its identical twin, Viking II, winged toward Mars nearly half a billion miles away. For the scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, who were the mission planners, the suspense escalated when Viking entered orbit. Viking's approach photographs of the Martian surface had revealed disquieting geologic features where the spacecraft was scheduled to land. Etched tablelands and deep craters -- clear evidence that Mars had once seen water -- presented all kinds of landing difficulties. A rock only a foot high could puncture the electronics-laden belly of Viking's Lander. On July 20, 1976 at 12:47 a.m. Pasadena time -- seven years to the day after Apollo II's Eagle had landed on the moon -- flight controllers ordered the Viking Lander, an awkward looking bird about the size of a jeep, to separate from the Orbiter and begin a thirty-minute engine burn that would take it out of orbit. Then at 4:13 Mars time, the Lander touched down on a rocky, rolling Martian plain, just missing a large fatal boulder. It took nineteen minutes for the news to travel through space from Mars to JPL in Pasadena. Suddenly, wild whoops filled Mission Control. Within an hour, the Lander's first picture from Mars' surface began to form, one strip at a time ... and the first triumphant exploration of Mars had begun. Image Size: 12 x 12 in.

In the ancient Greek religion, Hermes was the messenger of the gods. The god of travelers and roads, Hermes also conducted souls to the netherworld. The name Hermes therefore serves as a fitting moniker for the European Space Agency's first spaceplane, scheduled for development and deployment in the late 1990s. Designed to carry out a variety of missions, Hermes' primary mission will be to service the Space Station Freedom's Columbus Free-Flying Laboratory. Every six months, Hermes will enter orbit to dock at the laboratory for approximately seven days. The shuttle crews will initiate experiments, perform laboratory maintenance and transport equipment to and from the craft's three-ton capacity payload bay. If necessary, the crews may perform extra-vehicular activities using the HERA -- Hermes robotic arm. A technological project with enormous potential for large-scale European research and development expansion, Hermes will move the ESA into realms heretofore dominated by the scientific communities of the United States and Soviet Union.

Water covers more than seventy percent of the Earth's surface, providing means of transportation and livelihoods to millions of inhabitants. The oceans' sheer volume and impact on the planet's ecosystems have generated decades of scientific study. The polar ice caps -- their stability and effect on surrounding waters -- are the focal point of continual scientific research as well. To provide more sophisticated satellite systems for ocean, coastal, ice and meteorological applications, the European Space Agency (ESA) has developed its first remote-sensing satellite -- the ERS 1. Its mission will be to enhance scientific understanding of and collect data on global ocean processes, including effects on coastal zones and ice regions. Such data will be used to define and develop offshore oil activities, fisheries and maritime navigation while monitoring pollution. Two planned missions in the early 1990s will provide the ESA with data for five to six years. This artwork depicts the ERS 1 high above a polar ice cap. Image Size: 14.5 x 12.5 in.

On October 6, 1990, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral. Six hours later, the crew of Discovery opened its payload doors to deploy valuable European cargo -- the deep-space probe Ulysses. This extraordinary joint NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) venture culminated decades of intensive research and development by the ESA's unique commonwealth of science. Slated to be the first spacecraft to explore the polar regions of the Sun, Ulysses ignited the first of its three upper-stage motors within seventy minutes after discharge from Discovery and rocketed toward Jupiter, its first stop during a five-year mission. The probe carried a payload comprised of instruments designed to measure the solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field, radio bursts and plasma rays, solar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays, interstellar neutral gas and cosmic dust. Encountering Jupiter in 1992, Ulysses utilized the enormous planet's gravitational pull to propel itself out of elliptic orbit into direct solar orbit. For the next two hundred and thirty-five days, Ulysses hovered between 70 and 80 degrees solar latitude, conducting its priceless research and relaying information back to Earth.

No country ever demonstrated its aspirations and abilities more clearly than did America when Apollo landed on the moon. On July 20, 1969, the dreams of every American became reality when Neil Armstrong announced to all the world, "The Eagle has landed." On touching the powdery surface, he spoke his now famous words, "That's one small step for a man ... one giant leap for mankind." Fifteen minutes later, Buzz Aldrin began his descent from the Eagle to become the second man on the moon. The time on the moon was short and the men worked hard to complete all planned experiments. But, the men gladly found time to erect an American flag, not as a symbol of territorial claim, but as an identification of their proud nation which had completed the first manned lunar landing. Soon, the President's voice was transmitted from the Oval Office to the Moon. "Neil and Buzz . . . because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world." It was a touching moment for the astronauts and for their fellow Americans alike. Before long, the men with their carefully collected scientific data again boarded the Eagle for rendezvous with the orbiting Apollo spaceship and astronaut Mike Collins. The sense of relief the three men felt when they were again united onboard Columbia was also felt by the entire world. As they sped toward earth, the men shared with all mankind a sense of awe at the opening of a new frontier. Man had left his planet to explore another heavenly body ... and returned.

When the U.S. Congress was considering the Bald Eagle as America's national emblem, the choice was met by some powerful opposition. Benjamin Franklin, for one, voiced his displeasure, suggesting the turkey would make a more fitting icon. In a letter to his daughter Sarah, Franklin even referred to the Eagle as "a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy." A century later, orinthologist Arthur Cleveland Bent -- referring to the bird's piratical attacks on smaller, weaker osprey -- stated that Eagles "hardly inspire respect and certainly do not exemplify the best in American character." Yet despite such critical remarks, the Bald Eagle has remained one of America's most highly-recognized and treasured symbols. Image Size: 14.75 x 13.5 in. Overall Size: 21 x 18 in. Unframed.

            Mark Schuler (American, B. 1951) "First Space Station Crew 1971" 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 Republic of the Marshall Islands 45c First Space Station Crew stamp issued November 24, 1989. On 23 April 1971, the Soviets had placed Soyuz 10 into orbit. Following an early morning launch, Soyuz began its rendezvous maneuvers and docked with Salyut I on the afternoon of the 24th. The final docking took place in two stages. The automatic systems brought the manned craft within 180 meters of the target vehicle, and then spacecraft commander Vladimir Alexandrovish Shatalov took over. After ninety minutes, he guided the Soyuz to a successful docking. The two vehicles remained joined for five hours and thirty minutes while a series of experiments were conducted with the flight systems of both Soyuz and Salyut. Much to the surprise of most observers, there was no attempt to transfer either Alexei Stanislavovich Yeliseyev or Nikolai Nikolayevich Rukavishnikov into the space station. After separation from Salyut, the crew of Soyuz 10 conducted circular maneuvers around the station, taking photographs and transmitting live television pictures of it to the ground.
