Word of mouth and our web site — www.stampexpo400.org — have helped in advertising the show, attracting dealers and exhibitors, and minimizing costs. We will go to press this month with our design of the StampExpo 400 souvenir sheet- let. We are following in the footsteps of our predecessors in issuing poster stamps for a philatelic event. This miniature sheet, designed by Albert W. Starkweather, contains four poster stamps. One features the show logos, while the Hud- son and Fulton images are reproduced from old postcards and the Champlain image is from a 20th century painting. It is notable that no actual drawings or paintings of Cham- plain exist. The first drawings and paintings of the explorer were made more than a century later from the artists’ imaginations. The sheet will fit vertically on a No. 6#/¢ envelope. Each stamp is slightly larger than a U.S. commemorative. The 5,000 sheetlets will be die cut on pressure-sensitive stock identical to that used for cur- rent U.S. stamps. The individual stamps will be easily separated for individual use. The sheets will be available in about a month for $1 each, plus 50 cents mailing for up to 12 copies. The sale will aid in achieving parity on cost versus income as our agreement with New York State requires. Orders can be placed with Ronald K. Ratchford whose address is on page 3. We will complete our expedited border crossing procedures and forms for our foreign dealers in the coming month. Security procedures for dealers have been defined to aid load-in, load-out, and parking locations. The area under the Egg is designated for dealers with super booths and multiple tables. Societies will occupy the South Concourse, Exhib- its will be in meeting room 6 and the concourse area between meeting room 6 and the South Concourse. Please plan to assist us in any small way either before or during the event. Plan on attending the event of the year 2009. Contact me for assignments. 4 Stamp Insider — 25 Years!

  • Artists' Perspectives: Envisioning the World
    Evenings for Educators Artists’ Perspectives: Envisioning the World ALK THROUGH THE GALLERIES AT LACMA AND YOU’LL RECOGNIZE THE OBVIOUS: ARTISTS SEE the world in different ways. The lonG and colorful paintinG Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio (1980) is the work of Los Angeles–based artist David Hockney, Wwhose distinctive use of bright colors and bold patterns captures his view of a vibrant city. Step into another gallery and face portraits, now thousands of years old, of calm, stately people, their legs and faces in profile and their broad shoulders shown frontally. Here are the people of ancient Egypt, as represented by their artists. • What explains the distinctive ways artists see the world and its peoples? These curriculum materials consider how artists envision the world. Separate from the act of observing, envisioning calls attention to the mental act of forming an image with the mind’s eye, often after careful thought or engagement with the imagination. The definition of envision, which belongs in the group of words having to do with thought, holds nuances of meaning that reveal why artists envision the world, and the varying purposes their images serve. • What do these images communicate about an artist’s view of the world? • Can we, by example, look at our world in a new way, forming images that express a view of the world we inhabit? Envision: Form an Image of What Can’t Be Seen Over the centuries, artists have served the needs of both church and state, depicting unseen aspects of culture: values, the authority of rulers, and the stability of society.

  • ADIRONDACK COLLECTION Mss
    ADIRONDACK COLLECTION Mss. Coll. No. 32 1848- present. 5 linear feet History The Adirondack Mountains are a range of peaks in Northeastern New York State related geologically to the Appalachian Mountains to the south and the Laurentian range in Quebec to the north. The mountains consist of very ancient rock, about a billion years old, which has been uplifted into a “dome” over the last 5 million years or so. Human habitation of the Adirondack region is quite recent. Native tribes of Mohawk and Algonquin Indians hunted in the region, but did not settle there. The first Europeans explored the area in the mid 17th century. As settlement of the region began, the vast timber resources of the Adirondack forest were exploited for building materials and fuel. This exploitation continued for nearly 200 years as demand for wood for timber and land for farming and mining grew. By the mid 1800s, public appreciation for the remote Adirondack wilderness began to increase as writers and artists romanticized the region. Tourism increased as the concept of the “Great Camp” became popular. Larger numbers of city dwellers came as railroads made the region more accessible. By the late 19th century, concern over the depletion of the Adirondack’s resources resulted in calls for the region to be preserved “forever” as wild forest. In 1885, the Adirondack Forest Preserve was created and in 1892 the Adirondack Park was formally recognized and given the permanent protection of the New York State Constitution two years later, thanks to the pioneering work of conservationists like Verplanck Colvin and Seneca Ray Stoddard.
