- SIR WM. RUSSELL FLINT WATERCOLOR BEACH
SIR WM. RUSSELL FLINT WATERCOLOR BEACH SCENESir William Russell Flint (United Kingdom/Scotland, 1880 - 1969) watercolor on paper titled "Girls on the Beach" depicting three females sunbathing on a beach. Signed lower right "W. Russell Flint". Additionally signed and dated en verso "W. Russell Flint, Sept. 1937". Housed in a carved gilt wood frame. Sight - 18 1/2" H x 25 1/2" W. Framed - 30 1/2" H x 37 1/2" W. Biography (Courtesy of AskArt: The Artists' Bluebook): Born in Edinburgh, Flint's talent was discovered at an early age. Having been a student at the Royal Institution School of Art in Edinburgh, and serving a six year apprenticeship at a large printing works, he decided to move to London at the age of 20 and began working as an illustrator. He illustrated a number of classical limited edition books such as Mallory's Morte D'Arthur, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Homer's Odyssey. His service in World War I took him back to his native Scotland, where in 1919 he painted a tiny watercolour called Hilda's Bonnet on the linen of a fragment of HM Airship 24 (which he had previously commanded). Following the war, Flint's artistic career began to flourish. He painted in France and Spain (until the Civil War), where he produced works reflecting the local scenery and culture. He was elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1924, full member in 1933, and in 1936 became President of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour. His talent with both the watercolour medium and his skill in depicting the female form created his hallmark style. In 1947 William Russell Flint was knighted. In 1962 his work was acknowledged by a retrospective exhibition in the Diploma Gallery of the Royal Academy.

- CHARLES KNOTEK (1933-2008) AIRSHIP FLGIHT
CHARLES KNOTEK (1933-2008) AIRSHIP FLGIHT ORIGINALCharles A Knotek (American, 1933 - 2008) "First Airship Flight Around the World" Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Signed lower middle.
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 Man's Conquest of the Heavens series issued in 1983.
After World War I the first dirigible airship Germany was allowed to build for her own use was the Graf Zeppelin. Her commander, Dr. Hugo Eckener, set out at once to prove her superior worth as well as the feasibility and comfort of long-distance travel in the huge airships. His chosen method of proof: a trip around the world. At that time, the feat had been accomplished only once, by two American Army airplanes making 72 stops over a 6 month period. To finance his voyage, Eckener gleaned the profits from the sale of thousands of commemorative postage stamps; charged passengers a fee of $2500 each; and got the backing of publishers. One of them, William Randolph Hearst, contributed one hundred thousand dollars, with the stipulation that the flight begin and end on American soil. Thus, the Graf Zeppeling began its amazing journey from Lakehurst, New Jersey. Traveling at an average speed of 70 mph, 20 passengers and 41 crewmen dined on gourmet foods and fine wines as they drifted above the barren wilderness of such places as Russia and Siberia, passing over many lands never seen by people from the air before. In a total of twelve days in the air, the Zeppelin covered 20,500 miles, landing once again in Lakehurst on August 29th. A fabulous tickertape parade up Broadway in New York greeted the passengers and crew, and praise came from many sources including the new American President, Herbert Hoover. Dr. Eckener had made his point and the age of the great airships began anew.

- KIRCHER, Alexander, (German/Austrian,
KIRCHER, Alexander, (German/Austrian, 1867-1939): Graf Zeppelin Offshore, showing a Steam-Powered Sailing Vessel, Several Sailboats, and Snow-Capped Peaks in the Distance, Oil/Canvas, 28'' x 39'', signed lower right and dated 1931, carved and painted frame, 33'' x 44.5''. Kircher painted the Graf Zeppelin several times but this particular rendering is likely unaccounted for in the volume. It has been privately owned and displayed since the 1930s. John Bolten Sr., a German industrialist moved his family and businesses to the United States in 1927. He traveled via Zeppelin airship several times, conducting business between Europe and the United States. He purchased this painting in the mid to late 1930s. He had traveled on the Hindenburg in July and August of 1936 and purchased a ticket for his wife's mother to visit them in Massachusetts. The flight ended in disaster on May 6, 1937, but Marie Kleeman survived the accident and was picked up by her son-in-law, John Bolten Sr. the next day. This painting hung in Bolten Sr.'s home. He passed away in 1982 and in 1983 it was gifted by the family to his nephew, whom he'd sponsored to immigrate to the USA in 1955. His nephew then passed it on to his son. The painting has been in the Bolten family continuously for all that time and is now being offered by the original owner's great-nephew.
