DATIN Frank ? ?
Signed Postal Card
On October 4 1929 a bit of aviation history took place in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania when the Grube Airport officially opened and the first airmail from that airport was flown; Transcontinental Air Mail Service Datin flew 2200 letters to Pittsburgh 300 of them signed by him; two days later he died in a biplane crash during a stunt exhibition at Ebensberg Pennsylvania. Signed Postal Card heavy stock 9�" X 5" Punxsatawney PA 1929 October 4. Addressed to George W. Kessler. Very good. Mild bit of wear. One side of this large picture postcard depicts a typical airplane of the day likely a Transcontinental Air Mail Service plane soaring amidst a cloudy sky. The message side bears the 5-cent "Air Mail" stamp and a McKeesport Pennsylvania cancellation of 1929 October 8. The message portion bears a finely printed note: "Dear Sir: -- It was my privilege to carry your Air Mail yesterday. Thanks very kindly for your patronage. My reward will be your continued use of the Air Mail." Above the closing word "Pilot" Datin signs boldly in black ink. At center of this side is a large square special cancellation honoring the dedication of the Grube Airport and indicating "Friday October 4 1929 / Punxsatawney - Pennsylvania." A handsome and decorative piece with a two large blue and red stripes running horizontally across the top with "VIA AIR MAIL" printed between. The record shows that special airmail envelopes were selling well on that day at the dedication -- presumably this very type of commemorative card bearing this special one-day-only cancellation. This would have been one of the 300 items signed by Datin flown on that very day. Ironically by the time this was further cancelled in McKeesport Datin had been dead for two days. A most unusual and scarce aviation and philatelic item. unknown

DAUMIER Honore 1807 79
La France se preparant a passer ses candidats sous la toise
Paris: Le Charivari 1869. Lithograph. Small 4to image size 8¼" X 10". Very good. Light even age toning. This is the May 3 1869 second state of Plate 73 in this illustrated newspaper's "Actualites" series and a strong clean impression. It depicts a statuesque crowned woman representing France and resembling our Statue of Liberty standing at right atop a scale with a measuring pole. Her right hand rests across her bosom and her left hand clutches the adjustable height bar near the top of the measuring pole. Behind her and at left stand a crowd of Frenchmen in suits and ties all staring apprehensively at her. The caption reads in translation "France preparing to get her candidates to pass muster under the measure of standards." Immediately below the plate at lower left is printed "A. de Vresse r.Rivoli 55" while at lower right is printed "Lith. Destouches r. Paradis Pre 28" and the stone number "16" appears in the base of the scale. A quite nice copy printed on wove paper. The rare first state was printed on newsprint stock and bore no caption and the rare third state bore a different caption than the second state. This print is displayed in a single cream matte and a ½" black wooden frame overall dimensions 13" X 16". Very good. Slight bit of dampstaining at upper left and lower right of matte not affecting print. Verso of frame bears the label of noted New York art gallery E. Weythe Art Books Prints. Daumier produced a vast number of social caricatures roughly 4000 in number many done for this famed publication. From the collection of former Illinois Senator ADLAI E. STEVENSON III b. 1930 son of the Illinois governor of the same name 1900-65 and great-grandson of the U.S. vice president of the same name 1835-1914. DR 3708. Le Charivari unknown
