American Helvetia Philatelic Society VOL. XXV, NUMBER 5 SEPTEMBER 1999 American Helvetia Philatelic Society Every Letter has a Story by Mike Peter Every letter has a story and this is a great one ! This letter has numerous items of interest . The commercial cover was addressed to a Senor Dr . G. Zimmermann in La Paz, Bolivia . On the front i t bears a handwritten notation indicating a weight o f 4 grams . Also on the front, it bears a two lin e marking in black "Frankatur siehe Ruckseite" ; (translated : "Stamps on the back") . I have never seen this before . My understanding of this markin g is that it is applied at the post office, usually o n commercial mail that requires substantial franking because of the destination or weight due to their being more room on the back of an envelope for the heavy franking. It also bears the red flight cachet for a North America Flight of the Hindenburg . The letter was correctly franked with a total o f 220 Rappen . Rate breakdown : 30 Rp . international letter rate + 90 Rp. Zeppelin surcharge per 5 grams + 100 Rp . airmail surcharge New York to Bolivia pe r 5 grams = 220 Rappen . On August 15, 1936 the letter was dispatche d at Zürich and came by railway via Basel to Frankfurt . (Note Railway transit postmark o n reverse "Frankfurt - Basel Bahnpost Z191- 15.8 .36). At Frankfurt the letter came on boar d the airship "Hindenburg" and made the outwar d flight of the 7th North America flight of 1936 t o Lakehurst. From there the letter went by U S airmail to Bolivia where it arrived on August 25 , 1936, ten days after its dispatch at Zürich . Such combinations are rare, because most airmai l addressed to South America during this tim e period was sent via the German (Lufthansa) or French airmail services directly to South America . In addition there were numerous flights of th e Graf Zeppelin or Hindenburg to South Americ a 1936 . Why did the letter not go via these mor e obvious routes? The Lufthansa flight had just left on the 14th of August despite a 26-hour delay due to engine problem . The Graf Zeppelin had also just departed on August 13 . The letter just missed these two flights . The next Lufthansa airmail service to South America was going to depart on August 20th . Thanks to a knowledgeable post office clerk who was familiar with various schedules this letter was able t o get to its final destination utilizing the quickest means available at the time . Thus we have a great cover tha t went to South America from Switzerland via the United States .

  • The Roundhouse of International Spirits’
    ‘the roundhouse of international spirits’ Hans Arp, Raffael Benazzi Julius Bissier Ben Nicholson Hans Richter Mark Tobey Italo Valenti in the Ticino 17 January - 15 March 2009 Teachers’ Pack Contents • Introduction to the exhibition and maps • History of the arts in the Ticino region • Friendships between the artists • Image, key questions and biography for each artist • Themes and shared techniques to consider 'the roundhouse of international spirits' Arp, Benazzi, Bissier, Nicholson, Richter, Tobey, Valenti in the Ticino 17 January - 15 March 2009 'The landscape ... is entirely magical and with the kind of visual poetry which I would like to find in my painting.' Ben Nicholson The natural beauty of the Ticino, around the famous tourist spots of lakes Maggiore and Lugano had long attracted artists and intellectuals. Writing to a friend in 1962, German painter Julius Bissier described the area of Ascona and Locarno, where he was then living, as 'the roundhouse of international spirits'. By the early 1960s a remarkable group of artists had settled in the area. Hans Arp and Hans Richter returned, having first visited in the 1910s. Julius Bissier, Italo Valenti, Ben Nicholson and Felicitas Vogler arrived in search of better living conditions and new inspiration. The American painter Mark Tobey, based in Basel and a friend of many of these artists, regularly visited. The Locarnese, as it is known locally, became a thriving intellectual hotspot, with a strong sense of community - so much so that Arp liked to refer to it as 'el kibbutz'. These artists shared ideas and swapped works and the period produced rich results.

    Entrusting the account of one’s own life and business history to an artist could appear as an unconventional idea. We did it with a sculptor and artist of international fame, so that we could explain, much better than through words, what the Sta- te of the Art of Micronization is for us. Through the years we have made our company and our skills grow, the number of our customers increase, customers who trust and rely on us; we have widened the range of our services. Thus we have risen among the world leaders of the sector. This picture and this painting represent a special place for us: we see, represented through a brush stroke, our efforts, a dedication which is, above all, a passion. A passion for our work, for the future and the beauty. The beauty of professio- nal, well-made things. JETPHARMA TEAM WHAT IS FOR US THE STATE OF THE ART The internationally renowned sculptor we have chosen to cre- ate this work is Pedro Pedrazzini. He was born in Roveredo, in the Canton of Graubünden (Switzerland) on November 11th 1953. In 1974 - 1975 he studied in London and in 1976 he was an assistant at Remo Rossi’s Atelier. In 1976 and 1977 he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Florence and from 1977 to 1980 at the School of Fine Arts in Milan. He lives and works in Minusio, Canton of Ticino. The creative process that brought to the realization of this piece of work took several months, which were preceded by some meetings between Jetpharma and the artist, during whi- ch both parties expressed their opinions about what the State of the Art is in their respective fields, in order to reach a com- mon vision connected to their constant search for the highest quality level.
